About the Item

Bogaert's felt assemblages have a particularly soft and accessible appearance, which no other material he uses can match. At first glance they appear to be wooden objects, but the woolly surface makes it clear that they are felt. To date, only a few works of this format have been released. Bogaert's felt assemblies offer a special insight into the possibilities of this material. While felt is often seen as something functional and mundane, Bogaert managed to elevate it into a medium for artistic expression. The softness and accessibility of the felt contrast with the solid and sometimes robust shapes he created, creating an intriguing tension that invites the viewer to think more deeply about material and form. In summary, André Bogaert's felt assemblages have a unique place in the art world, thanks to their soft and inviting appearance and the innovative way in which he used this everyday material. His legacy lives on in the many prestigious collections that showcase and continue to inspire his work. André Bogaert (1930-1986) was an influential Belgian artist known for his innovative use of materials and techniques. He started his career as a painter, but soon expanded his artistic repertoire to assemblages and sculptures. His work is characterized by a special attention to texture and form, where he often uses everyday materials in an unconventional way. Bogaert was a master at transforming ordinary objects and materials into works of art with their own character and meaning. His use of felt is a striking example of this. Where felt is traditionally associated with warmth and comfort, Bogaert managed to give the material a sculptural quality that was both surprising and refreshing. André Bogaert is represented in every leading art collection in Belgium, including SMAK, Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Mu.ZEE, BOZAR, MSKA and the ING collection. Unique piece!
