Hans Op de Beeck | Works on Paper

Hans Op de Beeck produces large installations, sculptures, films, drawings, paintings, photographs, and texts. His work is a reflection on our complex society and the universal questions of meaning and mortality that resonate within it. He regards man as a being who stages the world around him in a tragi-comic way. Above all, Op de Beeck is keen to stimulate the viewers’ senses and invite them to really experience the image. He seeks to create a form of visual fiction that delivers a moment of wonder and silence.

Hans Op de Beeck (BE, 1969) is based in Brussels. Previous solo shows were held at MOCA Cleveland; Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg, DE; Sammlung Goetz, Munich and Tampa Museum of Art. The artist has participated in group shows at Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels; PS1, NY; Centre Pompidou, Paris; The Reina Sofia, Madrid; ZKM, Karlsruhe; MACRO, Rome; the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London and many more.
