Dilum Coppens

Dilum Coppens (°1993) is a young Belgian artist searching for the foundation of creation, both mental and physical, which for him forms the basis for our humanity. 

Mental creation is explored through the arbitrary use of words and images. These media, with which we try to comprehend and describe our world, are brought together not through intention but through intuition so that their fixed meaning disappears.
Underneath this layer of meaning, physical creation is also explored through the medium in itself and the emphasis on materiality. 

Through this process, Coppens creates works that resemble artifacts from an ancient yet at the same time contemporary culture that shared our world, but not our context. It is as if our future society discovered our present-day Stonehenge: they do not know its full meaning, but they understand and feel that it is, nonetheless, there.
