Visual artist Art van Triest confronts the viewer with a powerful visual language, borrowed from the military and industrial contexts. Van Triest employs objects you would usually rather avoid for their strong relation to violence and danger. With skilled craftsmanship and quirky humour, the artist transforms these into thought-provoking sculptures and installations. With his works, Van Triest unites a raw industrial style with a poetic manner of questioning social issues: the universal human tendency to strive for control and security in order to subdue our anxieties.
