Product description
Surrealist sculptures of wrought iron. This is Portrait. An ethnic face impaled on an olive wood stump. The minimalist, unique figure was created between hammer, fire, anvil, and welding rod. Forging is a form of modeling. The materials and the technique the artist uses become fully absorbed in the result. All sculptures have a high tactile appeal, yet are so layered that the viewer almost immediately begins to look for the message and the relationship they have with them.... Unique signed work from 2024. JLB received a musical education at the Ghent Conservatory, after which he built a career as a horn player, conductor, composer, and teacher. At the same time, as a self-taught artist, his interest lay in artisanal forging, initially to restore or manufacture all kinds of ironwork in the old way. Later, he discovered the possibilities of making sculptures. After a meeting and short internship with Martin Granel, he discovered the combination of glass and iron. JLB exhibits regularly at the Garemyn Hall in Bruges. His work was also on display at the Vlask Gallery in Ghent. Dimensions: 46 x 18 cm
