About
Lennart Creutzburg (1994, Breda, NL) is a Dutch(-Indonesian) mixed-media artist currently based in Helsinki, Finland. In the summer of 2019 he graduated with merit from the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Education in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The years after graduation he showed his work in various art spaces in and around Tilburg as well as internationally. Together with other artists in his studio, he established a residency place in an old leather factory in Dongen in the Netherlands, called Vrouw Muskens. From January 2022 Creutzburg started his two year Master in Fine Arts in Sculpture at the University of the Arts in Helsinki, Finland.
My work circulates around a framework of ontological questions where humans as biological machines, the creation of one's own logic, constructed self-images as well as dominant processes of conditioning and nurturing are particularly explored. The expression of inner worlds is always pursued, in which my own psyche is treated as the main medium. My oeuvre currently expresses itself in the form of mixed-media installations, sculptures and performances that emerge from self-analysis and research where each work can be seen in its broader relationship to the other.
A rhizome spreads its roots, grows into the unknown – the not-yet discovered corners of the psyche. It expands, clutches onto itself, it takes over, transforms and echoes. The rhizome submerges you, overwhelms you with its presence. Voices and machine-like vibrations occupy the space. It surrounds you, penetrates your eyes, your ears, even your mind. And as it grows, it becomes more and more complex – becoming harder to navigate with each expansion. With a logic of its own, it is impossible to completely understand, grasp or control. The multifaceted mechanism is always running at full speed, never fully grown, endlessly expanding and forming new layers. At times, very loudly present, or silently operating in the background.
