O, 6o, four drawings , is the title of Boris Thiébaut’s in-situ proposition in partnership with Le Botanique and the 2022 edition of the Art on Paper fair. In a singular relationship to drawing, gestures and written language, the artist combines references such as automatic drawing, cartoon comics, and graphic design. Thiébaut presents the teaser for his forthcoming monographic exhibition at the Botanique (September 2023).

His artistic practice fluctuates between ‘outsider art, Swiss graphic design and cartoon comics.’ His gestural and visual poetry relies on speed, writing, signs, gestures, symbols, and materials.
The artist explains: ‘I strive for a balance between simplicity and complexity: simple tools and direct technique. Complexity of a composition made up of layers, repetitions, and obliterations. Complexity of a reading where language and signs fight over the same territory. These shapes are engaged in a battle to build their own language: a hesitant one that seeks and denies itself as it matures.’
His work has been shown in the Baronian, Anyspace, Desimpel, and Locuslux galleries in Brussels and Nicolas Silin in Paris. His pieces have also been exhibited at Charleroi’s BPS22, Paris’ Salon du Dessin, Basel’s Liste Art Fair in Basel, and Warsaw’s Zachęta National Gallery of Art. He was a resident at WIELS, centre for contemporary art, and at the Maison d’Art des Chartreux, in Brussels.
