Ton Slits | Always searching for the next layer
Biography
In addition to spatial work (installations and work in public spaces), the oeuvre of Ton Slits (*1955) also consists of paintings and collages, which are characterised by a strong spatial character.
The formal language he uses fits within a range of icons that, in this hypervisual era, plays a clearly present role. In part, we recognise a contemporary visual language, derived from computer games and icons. that challenges the viewer to look attentively and carefully.
What is the deeper meaning behind the external appearance of the work?
Some guidance is offered, but at the same time the viewer is led astray. Deliberately, it seems. After all, symbols do not mean the same thing to everyone.
Slits has a long list of shows in museums, cultural institutions and his work is in public and private collections.
