Adrien Tirtiaux (born 1980, Brussels) is an architect-engineer, visual artist, and performer living in Antwerp. He studied architecture and civil engineering at the Université catholique de Louvain-La-Neuve (UCL, 2003), then visual arts at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna (2008), where he studied sculpture and performance.
His artistic work is situated at the intersection of architecture, public space, and installation art. He creates what he calls “contextual works”: works that arise from the specific space in which they manifest themselves—its history, architectural characteristics, functional and social use, light, circulation. In doing so, he also explores the underlying socio-political structures and symbolic meanings hidden in built environments.
