Camille Tan

Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, he has spent over fifteen years working between art installation, design and craft. His practice gives rise to furniture and suspended forms with fluid, organic shapes that reveal both the history of materials and the imprint of time. Inspired by nature and his practice of rock climbing, Camille Tan develops mobiles that exist between gravity and lightness, where balance becomes a language and transformation a constant. Composed of found artefacts such as stone, metal, wood, and archaeological elements, each component carries its own memory and presence.  

His work brings attention to the invincible forces that shape our environment, creating living, moving compositions that evoke tension, fragility, and the passage of time. Guided by a poetic and intuitive approach, he favors handcraft and allows instinct to inform the making process. 

Exhibited widely in Belgium and internationally, including in Brussels, New York and Paris, Camille Tan continues to explore transformation and the interplay of forces. His work reconsiders the relationship between design and sculpture, and between utilitarian and decorative forms treating each piece not as a static object but as a living presence in motion.
