Paul Gees. Under Pressure

Loom Gallery is pleased to present “Under Pressure”, the first Paul Gees’ Italian exhibition.

Over the latest 40 years he selected only three materials to work with: stone, iron and wood. He combined them together to find balanced solutions. Through harmony and inventiveness, his hundreds of variants all bring to mind the Arte Povera, the minimal and land art movements. Sculptures and objects rest for long time in his studio, where you can perceive a severity that it’s soften with a pinch of humour and an extraordinary feeling of an escaped danger. From simple and inner interventions it is possible to see a rigorous organisation, where research tends to prevail. Finally nothing falls, everything stands. To every work corresponds its stone and every iron has its own wood. Stone-iron-wood, like a Chinese mora of art, with an unconceivable serie of combinations, that makes it an obsession from whom a universe happens. Paul Gees was born in 1949 in Aaist, Belgium. Lives and works in Schoonaarde, Belgium
