CAMILLE TAN
Camille Tan (born 1990 in Rennes) is an artist based in Brussels. Trained in sculpture and design, his practice is deeply inspired by close observation of nature and his personal experience with rock climbing, which influences the tension and balance in his mobiles.
He works with found and reclaimed materials—wood, stone, metal—that carry traces of time, gestures, and memories. His pieces, often mobiles suspended or installed on the ground, explore the complex forces between matter, gravity, and movement. Sometimes collaborating with other artists, he embraces a free, artisanal approach that stands apart from industrial norms.
His work has been exhibited widely in Belgium and internationally, notably in Brussels, New York, and Paris. He pursues an open-ended research connected to living systems, the passage of time, and spatial dynamics. Each piece becomes a site of experimentation and a careful dialogue with the material and its unfolding presence.
