In this concentrated exhibition, the artist's first show in Germany, core elements of his work are concretised through a number of important individual works and series, which have a strong spatial effect and temporal dimension.

Time, the passage of time and its duality are themes that Van Snick made visually perceptible in his work. Since the late 1970s, the artist has submitted his work to a clear system. He assigned a colour to each of the numbers 0-9. 0-7 represent the immaterial colours (primary and complementary colours, followed by black and white), 8-9 the material colours (gold and silver). A few years later he added an extra colour; light blue This colour symbolizes the day - in contrast to black, which represents the night. In this way Van Snick was able to explore not only the meaning of form and space in his work, but also time and its dualistic character.
His systematic number and colour structure is undeniably an attempt to translate a complex universe into a concrete system. Van Snick's handling of this clear system with infinite possibilities is not dogmatic, but open and dynamic. His colour palette, along with the chosen abstract forms, does not embody "absolute abstraction", but is his way of connecting with concrete reality.

Abstract works have been combined with photographs that show Van Snick's interest in natural forms in his garden and elsewhere (such as the many botanical gardens he visited and photographed at home and abroad).
Van Snick's cinematic journey through sensations, past works and new studies offer a concentrated insight into the proverbial travel landscape of the artist.

This exhibition has been realized in close collaboration with Marijke De Keukeleire. Many thanks to Philipp Van Cauteren, Heide Hinrichs, Laura Van Snick, Wim Waelput, Simon Delobel, Liene Aerts and the Kiosk team for their support.
