The five symbols, back of a survey map, small version
Limited edition monotypes of the five symbols printed on the original canvas back of 19th military survey maps.
On the back of every print the sentence is printed.
Every print and every set is unique because they are printed on different engraved survey maps.

The five symbols and sentences
The initial point is the discovery of two child drawings that become the foundation of a new visual language and grammar. The beetle and profile symbols transform into left and right profiles, ultimately merging with Janus's head.

In addition to these five symbols, five sentences from a 19th-century school notebook serve as the second element. These sentences were repeated by pupils to learn proper writing techniques.

These symbols and sentences provide the basis for further visual exploration, but their meaning is only realized when placed in a specific context or in conjunction with one another. Polarity and duality are concepts that can only be defined within the context of a confrontation or relationship.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Monotype

Printing technique without engraving which produces a unique print. It consists of painting a non-porous support which will serve as a support for printing.

Technic Printmaking

Printmaking was originally used to communicate. Exceptional technical characteristics make it a valuable artistic medium. The artist creates an image on a flat surface to make a print. To create an original print, the artist inks the surface and presses it onto paper. Printmaking is the process of printing artworks Usually on paper but also fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces. ... Except for monotyping, all printing processes can produce identical multiples from the same artwork. The works thus produced are called prints or "impressions".

Xavier Debeerst

France

Xavier Debeerst, explorer of contradictions and confrontations in various fields of knowledge such as science, sociology, philosophy and politics, expresses his visual research through a variety of artistic mediums, including painting, collages, photos and the assemblages, which take shape according to the themes it explores.

At the basis of its visual language are five reproductions of children's drawings from the last century, made in five colors inspired by icons and frescoes. With these limited means, Xavier Debeerst works to create a new visual language, while integrating supports such as tapestries from the 1950s, which serve as a historical counterpoint to his contemporary expression.

Originally from Ypres, Belgium, Xavier Debeerst studied art cinema and photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent, with a thesis on the history of photography for the European Society of History of Photography (ESPh). His interest in history and photography remains constant, particularly exploring the interactions between photography and other media.

After a period in the art world, marked by various exhibitions, Xavier Debeerst pursued an international career in online marketing before founding the Anamorfose photo gallery, specializing in historical photography. Since 2016, he has lived and worked in the French countryside as a second-hand dealer, while embarking on artistic projects such as "Les Observatoires du Clain", an observatory with historic telescopes, and the " polarity_duality " exhibition in Sommières-du -Clain. His artistic commitment continues with his involvement in projects such as installation art and astronomy for the Verbeke Foundation as part of the "Junk Culture - City Art" project. Despite the challenges encountered, Xavier Debeerst remains dedicated to artistic exploration and the search for new creative horizons.
