Over the past twenty years, Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has been working steadily on a baroque and mysterious body of work. Van Caeckenbergh's sculptures and collages offer distinctly individual views of the world. An uncontrollable urge to collect and order can be sensed in the bigger-than-life-size, absurdist collages made of magazine pictures in which we can discern nipples, vegetables and bits of skin. Full of references to philosophers and other writers, the works on paper serve as the perfect setting for Van Caeckenbergh's peculiar sculptures. These are constructed from thousands of pieces of unfired or self-hardening clay and initially come across as being imaginary creatures from unknown folk tales.
