Linked to the Fluxus tradition, and with deep roots in postal art and visual poetry, Fierens has the rebellious and challenging look of a poet determined to upset the flattening of our imaginary. Its deeply desacralizing and incisive tone finds in the assault and violence of the advertising and journalistic language a privileged way to intervene critically about reality, giving expression to an alternative and dissident visuality. The focus of his work within the field of collage focuses on his poetic vision, a transgressive vision that is involved in a persistent game of contradictions to end up in a hybrid entity halfway between the plastic and the purely poetic: collage-poem.
The aesthetic option of Luc Fierens is nourished by the fragment, the deviation, and above all, a will of critical activation that is not very present in the field of collage. As he struggles to awaken other visions, which can counteract the cosmetic visions of mediated reality, his work transcends the boundaries of mere combinatorc exercise to deepen the much wider and more sensitive territory of a poetic that unravels and unmasks.
