Masks


Beware the name of this 1993 artwork “masks.” For this is not a set of anonymous masks but rather the artist's edited self-portrait. Like a true Francis Bacon, Piet Stockmans portrays himself in an inimitable way: torn, flattened, mutilated. By damaging himself, he prevents mutilation by the viewer and retains control over the game of seeing and being seen, of questioning and being questioned, of judging and being judged.

Piet Stockmans is a master at grinding and repeating, at modeling and groping, at maximizing by minimizing. In each case, the artist maintains the upper hand and makes himself anything but vulnerable. His material may be brittle and extremely fragile but his message is always powerful, self-confident and unquestioning. Piet Stockmans literally gets under your skin and let that be the favorite place of this exceptional artist.
