We would like to invite you to the book launch of VOITURE SAUVAGE :
“A stream of consciousness that does not ask for direction, but claims its right to passage nonetheless.”
For the past few months, we have been working together on creating an overview of Boris’ drawings that he makes continuously and impulsively. Drawn by the colours and shapes, they got together to create this book, that serves as a moment in time or an archive, guarding what has been made from 2020-2024. With an introduction by Allister Mees, this book is ready to be born and read. Besides the launch of the book, there will be new works by Boris on show.
We’ll raise a glass saturday night at 18h30.
Until then ♥️

I am very excited to invite you all to my solo-exhibition “MY CRAYON MADE ME DO THIS” ❤️🔥
Hosted and curated by the amazing @collagecollectief
This exhibition shows new work since my graduation that I am very curious to share with you all ♥️👀
‘The exhibition offers an overview of how drawing fuels Boris’s practice and how it can function as both a visual and political force. It unfolds as a dynamic constellation of memory, a space where drawing refuses to stay still.’

MISS BIG MOUTH 👄
Wood, metal, lightbulb, oil pastel, wood stain
Researching how objects can be tools for storytelling and how common objects can be ‘cartoonified’ to create a new embodiment.
I wrote a short slightly corny fable to go with the piece:
“As the town fell asleep, the fire was still sizzling. The Pink Man climbed up the mountain, searching for a higher view of the light of day.
He climbed the highest mountain on the island.
the one that provided shade during the hot days and absorbed most of the rain in the rainy season.
The stars were shining bright, reflecting the light of day.
When he reached the top, he looked around to see if anyone was there. There were only the stars watching him. They were the sole witnesses.
He reached out with his arm, stretching all the way toward the light of day, and tried to steal it.”
“Miss Big Mouth, tell us more! Did he actually steal the light of day?”
“The story ends here, children. It is a mystery to us all whether the Pink Man actually did it.”
“I want to know the truth! Please tell me, Miss Big Mouth!”
“I Don’t know what happened up there… Only the stars do!!!.”
