Felix De Clercq & Max Pinckers

On the occasion of their coinciding exhibitions at Gallery Sofie Van de Velde, Max Pinckers and Felix De Clercq collaborated for a new work. Departing from conversations about each other’s visual language and practice, they made photographs together of a painting in process, which was in turn based on a photograph. The result is a series of five black-and-white prints in which wet paint, canvas, and camera join in a waltz. Photography eyes painting’s abstraction with envy but stumbles over its own shutter release cable as painting leans toward photography’s claim to truth with quiet longing.
