(°1991, Belgium)

The origin of Lutgens’ satirical compositions is lodged in his instinctive and jubilant intermingling of projected figures and references. The artist skillfully handles different visual registers to toy with traditional constraints and draw his inspiration from the environment he frequents on the look-out for signs, symbols and documents. Using neo-dada inspired processes such as combinatory collage and caricature, recomposed elements allow for the emergence of a punk-trash world tinted by black humor. Theatrality has an important place in the artist’s work as to identify himself as a stand-up comedian.
