Lennart Lahuis
Born 1986 in Hengelo, NL, lives and works in Brussels, BE
Through a wide array of materials and techniques, Lennart Lahuis subjects visual information to natural processes such as oxidation, combustion, evaporation, and erosion. The artist juxtaposes these natural phenomena with technological elements and scientific disciplines such as earth sciences and astronomy. The precision and exactitude that characterize both science and technology are contrasted with the volatility and unpredictability of natural phenomena. In his objects and installations Lahuis departs from transience and entropy to explore the boundaries of intelligibility and the material conditions for readability.
