In his Twisted Reality series, Nik Baeyens dives headfirst into the colorful chaos of pop culture—only to turn it inside out. Familiar icons and polished commercial imagery get reworked, repainted, and recharged with a dose of satire, symbolism, and just enough edge to make you blink twice.
A Chanel No. 5 bottle becomes Poison No. 5, wrapped in serpents—luxury with a bite. In Life is a Circus, a vintage poster unravels into joyful disorder and wild-eyed beasts, capturing the surreal rhythm of modern life. These aren't just visual remixes—they're cultural pressure points, pressed with style and precision.
Hand-painted, screenprinted, layered and raw, each piece walks a tightrope between humor and critique, nostalgia and subversion. Baeyens doesn't simply reference icons—he disturbs their stillness, adds noise to their gloss, and asks what we're really looking at.
Because in today's circus of branding, spectacle, and beautifully filtered illusions…
Sometimes, the twist is the truth.
