Thibo Moreels (b. 1986, Tielt, Belgium) is a self-taught artist whose work moves between the boundaries of painting and sculpture, grounded in an instinctive engagement with materiality. Mining domestic detritus—attics, thrift stores, and garages—Moreels repurposes objets trouvés into compositions that blend irony with romance. His precise and subversive sensibility transforms familiar objects, reframing the ordinary as a site of alchemy and reinvention.
Informed by the sublime aesthetics of the Hudson River School and a spirit of experimentation, coincidence plays a crucial role in Moreels’ studio process. He describes his works as a “symbiosis of mutualism,” where an object’s latent yearning finds fulfillment through unexpected juxtapositions and interactions. Similarly to the themes explored in A Rose is a Rose is a Rose, his works ask viewers to make their own connections, immersing them in the autonomy of an otherworldly imagined narrative.
Moreels has notably exhibited at Frock Gallery, and collaborated with designer Oskar Zieta.
