Tirtiaux
About
Adrien Tirtiaux (°1980, Brussels) is a visual artist based in Antwerp. After initially training as a civil engineer-architect (UCL, 2003), he graduated in sculpture and performance at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (2008).
His artistic practice is site-specific, responding to the architectural and socio-political context of the places where he is invited to work, through installations, sculptures, performances, drawings, or graphic novels.
His work has been exhibited in numerous national institutions (Bozar, M HKA, Triennale Bruges, etc.) and across Europe (Manifesta 7, Secession Wien, Ijsselbiennale, Marta Herford, Le Magasin CNAC, De Appel Amsterdam, MNAC Bucharest, etc.). He is represented by Galerie Martin Janda in Vienna.
Integrating artworks into architecture and public space is a natural extension of his practice, and in recent years, he has created permanent works for various locations, including Haren Prison (2022), the ING headquarters in Louvain-La-Neuve (2021), the sports center La Ferme du Château in Loverval (2021), Recy K in Anderlecht (2021), Transfo Zwevegem (2020), and the VDAB Competence Center in Antwerp (2015).
