Recente Sorry's
A solo show by Guillaume Bijl
Celebrating the work and life of Guillaume Bijl (Antwerp, 1946–2025).
Until July 12, Lumen Travo Gallery is presenting Bijl’s solo exhibition Recente Sorry’s, featuring a unique cluster of his most recent installations. Objects from home decor are assembled into surreal compositions, layered with symbolic references that reflect on humanity through Bijl’s keen eye for the bizarre nuances of our everyday life.
Guillaume Bijl was known for his large-scale installations and visual realism. Since the late 1970s, Bijl created realistic décors using found objects. In doing so, he played a pioneering role in the resurgence of the ready-made.
In his artistic practice, Bijl can be considered something of an anthropologist who, for once, did not research into the life of exotic overseas cultures, but, instead, operated between Antwerp and New York, Amsterdam and Paris, observing and mimicking our Western existences.
