Matthias Knockaert (1983, Belgium), investigates the tension between painting, sculpture and architecture. On the one hand, this results in wall objects. They take the form of scale models influenced by architectural components. They are also small painterly compositions in space. On the other hand, Matthias Knockaert makes paintings that fold into the space and present themselves as sculpture or architecture. They are paintings that deny being a painting or confirm that a painting is not only an illusion but also a concrete material thing.
