Quintus Glerum​

​

Quintus Glerum is a mixed media artist that exploits the boundaries between humanity and technology. He uses his background in animation in the digital and physical space to play with different realities and hypothetical worlds. Glerum’s connection to digital media comes from his background in animation at St.Joost. He later turned to more physical media through his master’s in fine arts at Frank Mohr Institute. Glerum attempts to get a better understanding of himself by mirroring his image to that of machines. Comparison has become the strategy at the base of his practice. He commonly takes human-specific elements and portrays them through the simplified lens of a machine. The act of simplification results in comedic works that both question and highlight the strange relationship between humans and their tools. His works has been shown at the Athens Media Festival (2022), ‘This Art Fair’ Amsterdam (2021) and Even Goede Vrienden at Museum DR8888 in Drachten, among others.
