Parcs And Picnics

The 'Parks and Picnics' series originates from Soho Square in London, where Filip Collin captured impressions of a diverse community gathering amidst tranquility and everyday activity. About In this process, the focus shifts from the physical location to the impressions it leaves behind. Literal details fade, making way for personal associations, feelings, and memories. With his characteristic sensibility for form and color, Collin translates these impressions into compositions where observation and imagination merge. Furthermore, his drawings often serve as the starting point for his neon works, in which lines and shapes take on a new form, moving through space as luminous contours. The works thus pose an intriguing question: to what extent do we preserve a place as it truly is, and to what extent is it shaped by our own memories? Is the resulting image still a reflection of London, or has it, in the meantime, transformed into a memory of Antwerp? Read more Toggle Drawing Painting Installation
