Sophie Nys

°1974 Antwerp, Belgium

Sophie Nys practice brings conceptual and minimalist artistic strategies to their logical and formal limits by exploiting the broad artistic license possible within the contemporary art milieu. Her approach often leads to a demystification of the art object and current art practices that form the contemporary art scene object. Far from being flippant, her installations and videio work, though seemingly ironic, maintain their eloquence as poetic reflections on her subjects derived from the every day.
