Rein Dufait

Rein Dufait (Ostend, 1990) defines sculpture as the addition and removal of matter. Through his rigorous way of working sculpturally, he has developed a particular, possibly even unique, practice, constantly fuelled by an insatiable hunger for matter and a fascination with organic and artistic form. In his work, Dufait confronts the viewer with fundamental questions about sculpture. How do we divide a space? How do we combine textures? How do we create volume and height?

In the exhibition Van het reiken en het aarden, Dufait presented a mix of older and (mostly) new works in the historic rooms of CIAP's first floor. The edition Boek der worstelingen: schetsboek was also presented and offered for sale.
