Fred-Eerdekens-5-3-07.jpg

The sculptures and installations of Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens explore light and language through manipulated materials. The artist investigates connections between images and language as he transforms constructed objects into words. The artist projects light onto carefully organized objects to create small phrases within the shadow. Eerdekens uses a variety of materials to achieve this, including artificial trees, plants, piles of clothing and household goods to extend the direct relationship between the object and language. The artist is represented by Tache Levy Gallery in Brussels and Spencer Brownstone in New York. Recently, Eerdekens exhibited with Galerie Grita Insam in Vienna and MuHKA in Antwerp.

I have seen some of these in person. The object casts the shadow which creates the words. They are simple, but brilliant!

"Great video today about Gregory Crewdson on www.strobist.com"

"Check out Grant Barnhart's new limited edition print. It's called "In the Beginning". He's giving all the proceeds from the sale of this beautiful print to a close family friend that was recently diagnosed with cancer and has no medical insurance. What a wonderful artist and friend."
