Flaptekst

An insatiable hunger for pictorial and formal experimentation fuels the practice and particularly diverse body of work of this artist. Various styles and media are blended in a flamboyant ode to painting – an eruption of composition, color, materials, and sculptural interventions. Belgian artist Narcisse Tordoir (born 1954) challenges the viewer to sharpen their gaze and question the status of the image. For him, that image, and by extension visual art, is a place of wonder and mystery, a generator of meaning. His complex work is infused with semantic associations – graphic forms, vivid colors, fragments of text – and references to art history. Tordoir engages with the temporal and spatial context in which he is rooted, responding with aesthetic acrobatics to the increasingly troubled relationship between the eye and the image, often mediated today through a screen. A fundamental aspect is also the notion of authorship. Through various forms of coproduction, collaboration, appropriation, and references, Tordoir assembles a kind of 'character', a portrait of the artist and simultaneously of the human seeking answers in a fragmented reality. The selection of artworks spans nearly five decades and compiles installations of monumental scale with early paintings, complex painterly 'wall sculptures' with digital creations. "Time Without Future" is not a straightforward retrospective but offers a meaningful overview of some significant moments from Narcisse Tordoir's audacious body of work. The exhibition reflects on the elasticity and relativity of time: a time to look and reflect, the temporality of what has been, the reality crystallizing in images and objects, and the gaze towards what is yet to come.
