About the artist
The brothers Quistrebert (born in 1982 and 1976 in France) live and work in The Hague (NL) and Nantes (FR). They combine video and painting and explore the effects of light and shade, while bringing forward ideas of fascination, manipulation of the gaze, and their relationship to hypnosis, ecstasy and trance states. Taking elements that naturally attract our eye – fluorescent colors, sparkles, shiny and iridescent surfaces, LED lights – the Quistrebert brothers temporarily engulf their audience with perceptions of alternative realities. In the presence of their works, art theories and materials become secondary, and one is compelled to approach and experience their works with a pure primal spirit.
