Finn Theuws

The work of Finn Theuws(b. 1997, Amsterdam) presents a visual language of personal memories and figure of speech. His work is based on the dynamic of his interpersonal relationships and the urgency to dissect the many aspects of ‘contemporary masculinity’.

He employs and reassigns materials and objects which speculate metaphorically (or even clichéd) on the different aspects and have a recognizable relation with the established properties of the masculine; with a focus on a non-normative social orientation. His practice includes and combines both organic material, such as carnivorous plants personating hegemonic behavior, and artificial objects, like a medieval chainmail covering a massage mechanism speculating on the history of forbidden sodomy. His work consists out of various media such as sculpture, installation and writing.

In 2021 he concluded his MFA at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp after finishing his BA Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
