Randoald Sabbe: Explorer of Language, Time, and Chance
For Randoald Sabbe, nothing is quite as it seems at first glance, yet at the same time, it is exactly that. The work is just the work, representing only an intermediate phase. Sabbe feels a constant urge to refresh our memories and ensure that nothing is lost. His creations consistently evoke themes of history, politics, religion, semantics, and their transience.
Using existing symbols, objects, and language, Sabbe explores the ambiguity and layered meanings. In his work, he weaves conceptual sharpness with visual art. A recurring theme in his oeuvre is the notion of impermanence and the elusive nature of identity, with a keen awareness of shifting meanings and changing contexts.
Sabbe employs visual and semantic contradictions, challenging not only the boundaries of language but also those of imagery. Through his innovative use of language and visuals, he creates works that are both personal and universal, compelling the viewer to reflect on their own role in deciphering meaning. His art acts as a medium that both reveals and conceals, and within this play of visibility and invisibility lies the power of his oeuvre. The ongoing dialogue between past and present, the conceptual and the tangible, makes Sabbe an artist constantly seeking new ways to question our relationship with reality and the narratives we tell ourselves.
Randoald Sabbe demonstrates that art is not only a means to represent the world but also a way to reinterpret, recreate, and even manipulate it. His work articulates an aesthetic quest that is at once philosophical, visually challenging, and emotionally charged, linking the classical tradition of visual art with contemporary questions of identity, authenticity, and memory.
RAVISH COLD NECTAR
The champagne label RAVISH COLD NECTAR, designed by artist Randoald Sabbe in collaboration with Victor & Charles, is more than just a name. The rearrangement of letters is a fundamental aspect of Sabbe’s art series Nomen est Omen, which explores the idea that words—and therefore names—contain more than meets the eye. By transforming the names of the brand into the label of their product, Sabbe emphasizes that words and names are not fixed but fluid.
RAVISH COLD NECTAR thus becomes a metaphor for the alchemy of meaning-making. The words, originating from the same source as the brand, are literally a reshuffling of their identity. Through this, Sabbe plays with the ideas of destiny and the power of language: could the letters of our names, in a new order, reveal a hidden truth? What happens when we rename ourselves, and what new realities might emerge? The tension between chance and intention is a central question in the Nomen est Omen series, where Sabbe explores the boundaries between meaning and randomness, between the mundane and the mystical, between identity and naming.
In Nomen est Omen, Sabbe reveals that names are not merely labels but bearers of deeper meanings and even prophecies. The fact that RAVISH COLD NECTAR is an anagram of the brand name suggests a hidden order or design, with the name unveiling a truth that was always present in the letters. Just as Victor & Charles champagnes embody transformation, the name itself plays with this notion—what seems familiar is reassembled into something new and unexpected, something bold and enticing. The supremely delicious elixir that finds its peak when served ice-cold is a perfect encapsulation of this champagne.
