Linear Nonlinear | Art van Triest

20. März – 16. Mai 2025

»The Linearity of Feasibility« – Van Triests critical view of order and categorization

Art van Triest is a Dutch artist who specializes in installations, sculptures and visual art. In his works, he addresses the human tendency to control the world through systems and orders in order to cope with fears and insecurities. This “order” is reflected in recurring motifs such as grids, structures and grid lines, which for him symbolize Western rational thinking.

In his works, Van Triest questions the linearity of our ideal of feasibility and the tendency to categorize everything. He sees the grid as too direct a method of dealing with reality and his works offer a visual antithesis to the simplification and standardization of our environment and way of thinking.

The solo exhibition can be seen from March 20 to May 16, 2025 at Galerie gezwanzig Vienna.
