Jan Fabre : Chalcosoma : Small bronzes 2006-2012
, Galerie Guy Pieters, Knokke , 2012 Hardback, 207 pages, ENG. edition, 310 x 240 x 25 mm, As Good As New !, illustrated in color; with a (possible) signature and greeting from the author Fabre. ISBN 978905325346513.
This exhibition shows a series of small bronzes Jan Fabre made between 2006 and 2012. In these new works Fabre explores the multiformity of life and death: he plants a laurel between the wing-cases of a beetle, mounts a compass in a skull, and lets a crust of drawing pins grow over a self-portrait. Some of the works are completely new creations, while others refer to earlier elements in his oeuvre. Their diversity makes them a sampler of the themes that dominate Fabre's oeuvre. A network of associations unfolds between the various sculptures, one in which the viewer can wander endlessly.
