Rein Dufait: Ginger De Dingen, De Dagen En De Wolken
Rein Dufait (b. 1990, Ostend) works at the intersection of sculpture, painting, and drawing. His practice involves a wide range of materials 鈥 from cardboard, sand, wood, plastic, and plexiglass to acrylic resin, paint, and oil pastel. Each work emerges through a direct, intuitive dialogue with space, material, and moment.
Under the poetic title ginder de dingen, de dagen en de wolken, Dufait presents almost entirely new work: several series being shown to the public for the first time. These compositions, shaped in his distinctive, instinctive style, hover between reality and imagination.
The exhibition title serves as a poetic compass. 鈥楪inder de dingen鈥 refers to the act of looking 鈥 to what presents itself and becomes visible. 鈥楧e dagen鈥 introduces the element of time: the rhythm, the layering, the traces of process. And 鈥榙e wolken鈥 evokes the fleeting, the intangible 鈥 the realm of imagination.
ginder de dingen, de dagen en de wolken invites a slower way of looking and a renewed appreciation 鈥 of materials, forms, time, and the everyday world around us.
