Arno Camps

Arno Camps (1999) is a Belgian artist living and working in Antwerp. He studied Fashion and later Sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent (KASK), where he graduated with a Master’s degree in Sculpture in 2024. His multidisciplinary practice, spanning sculpture, fashion, poetry, performance, sound, photography, and video; constructs a “counter-reality” that questions authority, social control, and imposed norms.

Starting from poetic reflections, Camps transforms personal experiences into layered visual worlds that balance humor, surrealism, and raw materiality. His work embraces imperfection, rough textures, and hybrid forms that exist between figuration and abstraction, creating a tension between familiarity and alienation. Through scenographic installations, manipulated objects, and transmutative 2D works, he builds interconnected narratives that challenge ideas of beauty, freedom, masculinity, and societal structures. By positioning himself as a persona within his practice, Camps turns his artistic process into a theatrical act of resistance, using ritual and symbolism to better understand and question the world around him.
