Medium

mixed media

mixed mediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

Another element that strongly refers to painting is the “tableau vivant”: a living painting in which neither the view nor the picture frame changes.
- Hans Op de Beeck

Renowned for his multi-faceted approach to his art, Hans Op De Beeck is a visual artist whose work encompasses the disciplines of sculpture, installation art, photography and painting among others. Op De Beeck creates evocative works that can appear simultaneously serene yet saddening; A House By The Sea succinctly exemplifies this in depicting an eerily monochrome model house, situated in a gallery surrounded by pastoral landscapes – the artist himself has stated that he creates with ‘the old idea of catharsis: the tragic and the problematic, yet at the same time comforting quality of the image’. Op De Beeck uses a number of everyday materials throughout his work, including cotton wool; plaster, cardboard and even sugar – the use of such materials and their fragility and malleability highlights the themes of space and time that Op De Beeck is so fascinated by.
