It is not easy to categorise the carefully constructed oeuvre of Peter De Meyer (b. 1981) into one box. De Meyer plays with the unwritten rules of minimal art and conceptual art, thereby stripping them of a sometimes stifling seriousness. In this way, he exposes a lack of sense of perspective, humour, poetry, or romantic enthusiasm in the art world. In his installations, sculptures, objets trouvés, and conceptual interventions, De Meyer introduces small shifts in context and meaning. Through a subtle play of associations with objects, he pierces through common expectations. In this way, De Meyer exposes, among other things, the vanity that lies behind the stereotypical ‘roles’ of gallery owner, art lover, and artist. By constantly putting his audience off balance, the artist invites them to approach ‘Art’ (with a capital A) with a healthy sense of perspective.
