Press Release
TATJANA PIETERS is pleased to invite you to Making Traces, the 3rd solo exhibition by Belgian artist Matthijs Kimpe.
The new works by Matthijs Kimpe build on the principle of translating visual information. The errors that such a translation introduces reveal the nature of the medium and form the field of inquiry around which he works. Just as in earlier work where digital images are represented in analogue form, he now turns to capturing spatial forms on the flat surface. Volumes, actions and configurations imprint themselves onto the canvas. Chance, negative form, movement and colour become the instruments of a spatial transcription. The interplay between what was there and what remains visible introduces a distance; a layer between action and image. Leaving Traces invites the viewer to search for what happened on the canvas, to read the visual artefacts as traces of an action that is no longer there.
