I close my eyes to wish to see

Peter Schamaun

Reneenee presents a solo exhibition by Peter Schamaun. Peter will show a video next to new paintings and sculptures produced during the last year. Peter has in the past studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpt (BA, MA).

Through the exhibition, Peter Schauman is creating a metaverse, a space that shapes the architecture of his own time and space, as well as exploring the consequences of fictitious realities. From different places in terms of geography, situations, excited by similar themes that get embodied in various techniques and genres that use the hand as an artistic material. “I close my eyes to wish to see”, also exposes constants in a developing self centered society – that no matter how fast the innovations develop, people are still creatures of habit, and what we love the most are the things that we may not understand, but are used to.

“Forgotten, they might have stood there for years seeing nothing but the same, over and over again. The sun blinds me more then closing my eyes, so I look again, further away- what is behind the image that I see.
That is what I see.”
