Presentation
Peter Downsbrough was born in 1940 in New Brunswick (New Jersey). He lives and works mainly in Brussels.
His artistic career started in the late 1960s and his practice is in the lineage of minimalism. He trained to be an architect and has developed a strongly reduced visual vocabulary, which he uses to investigate the given space in a very personal and precise way. His material consists of letters and lines.
Peter Downsbrough: “With the word, one takes part in a dialogue, a discourse on its precise meaning.(…) The word for me is an object. It has both a precise and a vague meaning. It is a universe one is confronted with. But there is no obligatory way of reading.”
