Yves Malfliet
My work is intriguing,unexpected and anecdotic . The works radiates the pleasure the artist experienced in creating it. But behind the mask of the amusement sometimes hide a great deal of sarcasm,bitter reality and narrative absurdity : I hold a mirror in front of the viewer’s face. Shapes are brought together like a sort of “pièce-montée”. By using the porcelain “figurines” I integrate elements that belong to the common people’s culture. My works are like a contemporary fairy-tale (Antoine de Saint-Exépury), balancing between naïvity, sacrality and mysticism, whereby the conceptual transcends the craftsmanship .
