Wim Geeven
The act of constructing in all its’ aspects -from blueprint to final plan and all steps in-between- fulfils a key role within Wim Geevens’ the body of work. Fragments are illuminated, particularized and used as idiom for image. Robust construction elements are presented as vulnerable and act as a personal comment. They arise in a natural flair, are modest and evoke a complexity. The objects by Wim Geeven oscillate between sculptural and architectonic, between the defined and the indefinable; they touch upon a wide range of images without converging them. This is part of their allurement; although these objects refer to a mountain, a building, a butterfly, a skeleton or an airplane…they remain a mystery. They are ambiguous and unclear in an intriguing way. They manage to escape the natural urge we have to name and identify things.
