Katleen Vinck (°1976, BE. Lives and works in Antwerp, BE)) often starts from a profound fascination for architecture; its history, its meaning, its materials, and its technical intricacies. She imitates human imitations and as a result her objects form their own typology. Aspects from her background, scenography, visual arts and architecture mix into hybrid forms. Smooth and reflective surfaces are juxtaposed with robust and solid materials such as concrete. The duality of her work, balancing between peril and fragility, can also be translated into the contrast between aesthetics and functionality or even the border between nature and architecture.
