Robin Adriaens


Derived from the lively, often grimy streets of Antwerp, my inspiration materializes from encounters, banal scenes, and oddities. Fueled by a vivid imagination, I translate ideas into unfiltered images, often on discarded objects. The tactile allure of these finds can spark immediate ideas. Despite repurposing street-found objects, I try to continue treating them as mere trash, fostering a self-critical approach. A constant visual exploration, blending imagination with surroundings, drives each creation. I prioritize spontaneity, avoiding preconceived notions, welcoming coincidences and intuitive impulses. A continuous thematic thread, humor weaves through my work, often targeting taboos and human vulgarity. These ‘adult’ themes are in high contrast with a childlike expression which allows me to explore the raw form of individuality that I try to obtain in my work.
