'How water grows' is the first solo exhibition by Zoro Feigl at Gallery Vriend van Bavink. While water typically follows the laws of gravity and flow, water in the works by kinetic artist Zoro Feigl seem to be alive. His materials dance, climb, and grow. Within his 'Waterworks' series, liquid is suspended between sheets of glass and animated by subtle variations in air pressure. It results in fluid shapes that cluster and dissolve, mimicking the growth of branching leaves or microscopic organisms.

Feigl’s work operates at the intersection of control and chance. While his systems are engineered with precision, the outcomes remain unpredictable. In these installations, movement is not a means to an end; The movement is the image. By resisting permanent form, the works exist in a state of constant becoming, where the viewer is not looking at a finished object, but at a process that never fully resolves.

The exhibition further explores the artist's kinetic liveness through a selection of sculptures that vary in scale but share a singular, commanding presence. Much like a campfire, Feigl’s work exerts a primal, wordless magnetism. It does not seek to impose a specific meaning; Instead, it creates the atmospheric conditions in which meaning can emerge.

Marking the culmination of an experimental trajectory that began in 2020, this exhibition brings Feigl’s work back to the city where he grew up. As one of the most renowned Dutch kinetic artists, Feigl has recently exhibited at the Cobra Museum and Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, with works held in the prestigious collections of Museum Voorlinden and the Rijksmuseum Twenthe. This exhibition runs concurrently with his permanent installation for Artis and his collaboration on the performance 'Klei' by Boukje Schweigman.
