Brontekst bekijken van English:D.D. Trans (Q141711)

<p>The name D.D. Trans is a pseudonym which Frank Tuytschaever took from a now defunct transport company. His&nbsp;debut was a group exhibition put together by Dirk Snauwaert in 1990 at CC Gildhof in Tielt. In 2005 he gave up being an artist but in 2014 he prepared his come-back.<br />
The artist&#39;s work is about transformation: day-to-day, often domestic objects are taken out of their framework and, after a small alteration, are being turned into works of art. The result is formal, poetic or funny at times. Usually it concerns minimalistic changes. A rubber door protector in the centre of an empty gallery becomes a stumbling block, metal meat hooks form a heart, or a hat stand is made of clothes hangers. The artist finds inspiration in DIY stores. His vocabulary comprises kitchen paper, scrubbing brushes and squeegees. He&nbsp;does not break radically with his past but picks up where he left off. Some ideas return after all those years but have been worked out in more detail.&nbsp;</p>
