€6,360About Eric van Hove
Eric van Hove’s work explores themes of wanderlust, de-familiarization and psycho-geography.
Incorporating transcendentalist influences in his work, he deploys a more spiritual and decentralized approach to the Eurocentric intellectualism of the contemporary art world.
The artist’s sculptures are hybrids of different cultural and social contexts through which he explores the aesthetic and metaphorical territory in between craft and capitalist production. By blending artisanal work with mass-produced objects, van Hove creates elaborate artworks embodying the contradictory nature of contemporary material and visual culture and its paradoxical socio-economic implications.
