As a painter, draughtsman, sculptor, musician and performer, Joris Van de Moortel (°1983. Lives and works in Hoboken, BE) explores deconstruction as a generative creative process. Inspired by movements like punk rock, Dadaism and Fluxus but also by the ominous iconography of Northern Renaissance, formal excess an carnal corporeality of the Baroque or the allegorical decadence of Symbolism, Van de Moortel creates a raw, dystopic imagery steeped in mysticism and symbolism.
