Known for his multifaceted and divergent approach to art making, with works that range from sculpture and installation to painting and drawing, Kasper Bosmans' practice is a complex concoction of high art and literature, popular culture, mythology and anthropology, viewed through a queer and playfully minimalist lens that subversively observes and reinvents narratives that dominate the world around us.
Read MoreTaking an editorial approach, Bosmans cuts, pastes and brings together these anecdotes and stories, which traverse all histories, cultures and societies, and identifies off-beat, idiosyncratic and poetic resonances that bind form and meaning together in what is essentially a conceptual practice. Nothing is off-limits for Bosmans, who has a particular soft spot for more obscure, queer and marginalized anecdotes, from stories of cross-dressing saints to examples of celibacy and monogamy in the animal kingdom.
Bosmans prods, pokes and teases out connections in his work that are significant to his personal world, but the resulting narratives cannot help but take on a universal resonance.
