Guy Mees

1988

Collage, 116 x 288 cm (framed).
Materials: paper

Collection: M HKA/ Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK006928).

Mees’s work is systemic, yet the system emerges from within the work itself. The precision of his oeuvre — with interlocking elements from painting, sculpture, and performance, in which colour, texture, and the experience of space are paramount — is of an order that resists verbal definition. In the 1980s, Mees creates works with cut-out pieces of coloured paper, pinned against the wall or another surface like painterly gestures, forming a kind of ‘lost spaces’.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
