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.
Deriving from the idea of rhizomatic networks; the illusion of an ever expanding network is created through the use of a multitude of materials and media. The textured skins that form the exterior of the machine-like creatures create a dynamic whole, interacting with its environment on multiple levels. Through the absorption and scattering of light and implementing interventions in the architecture leading to an immersive reversed echochamber that invites to become part of the machine - stepping into other possible worldings. The layeredness in materiality forms a lineality to the concepts that are representative within my practice, with ideas regarding hybrid creatures and cyborgs, the merging of more into one, is here expressed in different outputs.
