REIN DUFAIT. IN DE VERTE - DE LUCHT

Spanning the years 2018 to 2025, In de Verte - De Lucht offers an intimate and expansive look at the evolving practice of Belgian artist Rein Dufait. As a continuation of his earlier publication Things and Air, this new book weaves together past andrecent works through diverse vantage points: exhibitions, installation views, artist publications, and sculptural gestures staged in open-air environments.

With text by the artist, a critical essay by Christophe Van Gerrewey, and photographs by Cedric Verhelst, Michiel De Cleene, and Hanne Van Assche, the book captures Dufait''s deepening exploration in material, form, and temporality. Known for his conceptual approach, Dufait works at the crossroads of sculpture, painting, and drawing. Using materials such as sand, cardboard, wood, and acrylic, his tactile practice reveals traces of labor and process-an art in constant negotiation with gravity, impermanence, and the elements.
