None of Roger Cremers’ drawings, sculptures or paintings stands for itself. His images encroach upon each other, subvert each other and supplement each other. ‘Arbitrary constructions’ is what the artist calls them. His oeuvre is an expanding expose about the extent of our knowledge: a visual discourse on the starry sky, brain matter, the animal kingdom, the globe, evolution and the finger print: ‘the very big and the very small.’ [Wilma Suto, Traces of science in art, 1998]
In outLINE Cremers shows beside work from 2008, a new series of paintings and object. Portraits of philosophers will be placed next to ceramic taperecorders and other ‘object of registration’ from current and past centuries. Images of symbolic animals and medicinal plants form new associations and show a world of cultural references.
