Theo Schepens
It’s a remarkable idea, but anyone residing in a space reacts to it and allows themselves to be propelled by it.

Theo Schepens’ (1961, the Netherlands) sculptures diminish their own sculptural character. They appear direct; the space they take up is minimal. The artist wants to prevent the viewer from being overwhelmed by virulent rhetoric. What they intend is to prompt a thought in us: “I also want that.” These sculptures confer a mode of movement through a landscape, a way to relate to the earth and the sky.
