Finn Theuws’ practice is driven by a profound fascination with the potential of the inanimate to convey meaning and reciprocally affect the human subject.

The interest fuels his efforts to meticulously deconstruct inherent value systems embedded in both man-made and natural objects, to fragment and dismantle their objecthood, reverting them to things and material components.

While preserving echoes of their original identity during the processes of fragmentation, Theuws’ sculptures come into being, consisting of a reconstruction and juxtaposition of the disassembled components.

Imbued with a new language, frequently incorporating figures of speech and hints of the surreal, he reimagines narratives and semiotics associated with objects, particularly in relation to concepts of masculinity, gender, labour, leisure, sports performance and the domestic.
