Overview
An immersive visual exploration by Joke Raes of the symbiosis between art and nature. Text in English and Dutch.
VIVID by Joke Raes is an immersive exploration of the dynamic relationship between art, nature, and human perception. Drawing on organic forms and natural motifs, Raes creates tactile, large-scale installations that blur the boundaries between sculpture, drawing, and environment. The works in VIVID invite viewers into a contemplative space, revealing hidden layers of color, texture, and form while reflecting on humanity’s impact on natural ecosystems. Utilizing re-appropriated materials and intuitive gestures, Raes constructs visual narratives that evoke both wonder and introspection. The book accompanies her eponymous exhibition at Zebrastraat, Ghent, presenting her oeuvre across two floors of expansive installations, including wall sculptures, delicate figures, and immersive environments. Richly illustrated, VIVID captures the interplay of light, material, and organic shapes, offering readers an intimate encounter with Raes’ vision. An essay contextualizes her practice within contemporary environmental art, emphasizing her unique ability to harmonize human creativity with ecological awareness. VIVID is essential for collectors, curators, and enthusiasts of contemporary visual culture, sculpture, and ecological art.
