Bart Stolle

° 1974

Born in Eeklo (BE), works in Ghent (BE).

The oeuvre of Bart Stolle includes rigorous animations, precisely composed paintings and an archive that serves as the basis for his installations. By means of abstraction and the employ of elementary forms, he wishes to lay bare the foundations of both art and society. In each new creation, Stolle profoundly queries his artistic points of departure. Stolle’s animation films comprise part of an overarching project entitled Low Fixed Media Show. His films have references to abstract art from the beginning of the 20th century, as well as to contemporary symbols like computer emoticons. The animations combine absurd humor with involvement in societal issues. In his film work, Stolle reacts to the flood of manipulated and synthesized images with which the media bombards us on a daily basis.

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
