**TICK TACK** is thrilled to announce >>>(X)<<<, the first solo exhibition in Belgium by world-renowned German artist Thomas Scheibitz, opening February 14th, 2025.

At >>>(X)<<<, Scheibitz unveils an extraordinary new body of work, created over the past two years and exhibited for the first time. Anchored by two monumental paintings — "Calvary" and "Landscape#Mundus" — the exhibition captures the essence of his practice: exploring the translation of situations and the indirect designation of space. These are complemented by a site-specific sculptural installation featuring 28 elements, parts, fragments, and sculptures; a "thinking space", where forms seem poised for an impossible deployment, like representatives in a display warehouse.

Scheibitz’s works are like models — not definitive solutions, but rather expressions of a way of thinking that is never fully complete. ****Scheibitz’s works are composed of geometrical formations, containing recognizable, reoccurring symbols. He combines these abstract landscapes with architectural elements to convey the underlying principles of our seemingly well-ordered world.

>>>(X)<<< is more than a title; it's a symbol—a synonym for a generation, the unknown, a disputed platform, or a marker of significance, like a cross on a map or the act of highlighting special places in a notation. With this exhibition, Scheibitz transforms TICK TACK's historic space into a kind of arena, reaffirming his position as a trailblazer at the forefront of contemporary art.

Scheibitz’s art emerges from a dynamic archive of images spanning art history, pop culture, and his own photos. He selects and transforms these elements through a fluid process of sketching, photographing, and reworking, stripping away specific references to create works that exist between figuration and abstraction. His images become autonomous entities, blending form and meaning, exploring a unique space where reality and invention intersect.

Thomas Scheibitz (1968, Radeberg, DE) is celebrated as one of the most influential painters and sculptors of his generation. His work dismantles and reimagines fragments of classical painting, architecture, the urban landscape, and popular culture, balancing clarity and enigma. Scheibitz's works reside in some of the world's most prestigious collections, including MoMA (New York), Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), and Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam). A highlight of his career includes representing Germany at the 51st Venice Biennale.
