Details from Filip Collin (), Friendly Apparitions I-IV, 2023, now on view in our current exhibition 'Electric Aura’.
Filip Collin, a visual artist from Antwerp, crafts immersive artworks that blend shapes and colors in playful harmony. His journey from Sint Lucas to the Royal Academy shaped his rejection of black ink in favor of vibrant hues and diverse materials. Each element in Collin's compositions is carefully chosen to evoke a specific feeling, reflecting a meticulous yet free-spirited approach. His art invites us into a world where suspended shapes spark memories and emotions—a celebration of form and color, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the undefined.
Friendly Apparitions is a neon installation on plexiglas and steel frames. It reflects a repetition of memories and the loss of details throughout time. By constantly drawing, erasing and redrawing, the image makes a blurred appearance. Showing us what remains and what gets lost.
