As an artist, Gilles Muller has recently been looking to expand his painting into new dimensions and to find and create symbioses between architecture and painting. His aim is to take a greater interest in architectural elements and physical objects in order to integrate them into his work. In part, he wishes to leave the field of painting and move towards other techniques in order to create more spatial works. To develop his artistic expression, Gilles Muller would like to try and integrate architectural elements into fragments of his painting and thus develop new relationships. It’s a personal journey driven by the desire to discover new things, to generate new forms of artistic representation and to give more spatial depth to his works.

He wants to try new things. Familiarise himself with different techniques such as sculpture, spatial installation and mixed media. By exploring new techniques, they want to strengthen their artistic expression. Find new ways of expressing their ideas and emotions. By integrating architectural elements into his work or allowing them to become part of his working process, he hopes to establish a deeper connection with the environment and place.

Gilles Muller hopes to take advantage of his residency at neimënster to explore and experiment with this process and his personal artistic search for new things. In keeping with the theme (“Exploring new dimensions of encounters between art and the public”), he wants to provoke new ways of interacting between the public and his art, to give rise to new types of encounter between the observer, the user, the public space and his art.
