“The work of Fen De Winter is characterized by a search for identity. A path he charts by seeking out extremes in order to determine the middle ground. His work flirts with nihilism, where meaninglessness paints both the heaviness and the lightness of life; when nothing matters, everything becomes a game. Another polarity that recurs in Fen’s oeuvre is the relationship between high and low art. There is a fascination with the old masters who speak to us from a time when great narratives still existed, but also an estrangement from those narratives whose promise was never fulfilled.”
