Defined by the Larousse dictionary, “contemporary” pertains to those who coexist with others, save for particular occurrences. Paradoxically, the term also alludes to those belonging to the present era.
Correspondingly, Jean-Pierre Husquinet can be categorized as a contemporary artist, despite his preference for transcending the concept of time in his creations.
Through his choice of materials and techniques, Husquinet’s pieces exhibit a balance between traditional and experimental, oscillating between craftsmanship and precision. Utilizing rope as a primary medium, his repetitive gestures imbue texture and depth, while his vector drawings employ an array of computer programs and modern tools to achieve the desired intricacy and structure.
