Lize Verlooy
aka ELLIS BLAUW .
I am a freelance artist and performer . Driven by my fascination for natural processes and the deeper mechanics of life ,i started digging in the alchemy of ceramics and its geological principles . Creating lavas and melted earth …
In search for the mechanics and the deeper flux of life , always looking for the soul in things , i create multi-media sculptures and installations , assemblings that mixes multiple techniques into cinematic installations.
Recylced fairytales fusing mythology , archetypes and animism with contemporary thematics. An artistic shamanic ritual.
Interactive and open for dialogue.
After finishing a Master in Ceramics at PHIKO in Hasselt in 1995 , i continued a long traject crossing many other disciplines and collaborations . Textile , figure theater , drawing ,lighting technics …the urge to learn is a state of mind in adaptability.
My works appeared in several Europian cities , Robodock Amsterdam , Bifff Brussel ,Rdece Zora in Slovenia
In 2010 i started collaborating with circus ,theater and music.
I work regurlary with Gokhan Girginol , in Wozeck and Robin Hassan Hood.
Since 2011 i became a partner in crime in Post.TRAUM collective . In the transdisplinary dance performance ‘Beyond the Body’ we explore the poetics of the speaking body and the language of senses. Between speech and speechlessness.
More recently i developed a wide range of life visuals in ‘The Arch’ in Genk. The tubular construction of Construct lab and the research on plastic recycling engaged into a light laboratorium created with liquids and raw materials .
Since a couple of years i involved in the collectiveness of the musical constellation ‘Planete concrète ‘ The lovely liquid creature Ground Ivy . Probing performative journeys into frequenties through Europe interfering with other strange lovely creatures and circumstances and data waves, interconnecting universe.
