Experimentation is the master word of the visual artist’s approach as well as the implicit attitude of the visitor, whose physical or psychic relationships to the real and perceptual habits are systematically disturbed.
Ann Veronica Janssens’ approach is about shine and shimmer, transparency and fluidity, visible and elusive, but also about reflection and refraction, movement and perspective, balance and instability.
The artist, in this perspective relies on a multitude of devices through which she knows call to science to further explore the fields of sculpture as painting.
A certain curiosity and a need for exchange have always nourished his work.
In the work of Ann Veronica Janssens gold is a metaphor for the sun and an interface between the earth and the cosmic.
The first hat made was Chapeau, in 2008 (model Borsalino), then summer, 2001 (female model) and then the hat Stetson, in 2013.
These hats are a symbolic reversal of the existence of the object. What normally protects you from sunlight actually, incorporates and embodies the light.
It is a gesture towards an exponential radiation of light through potential reflection.
In 2011 Ann Veronica Janssens made a golden motorcycle helmet, in which lies the idea of a latent movement, the image of a continuous connection with the cosmic; These hats embody metaphors with many levels of interpretation.
