Tom Van Puyvelde. Variantes

2023 || Paperback || Domenico De Chirico || Mer

"We could compare Van Puyvelde’s approach to painting to an instinctive, all-encompassing vision, a careful and patient observation of a small plot of land where every is silent, but where everything is happening at once, where the wind varies, the lights move, and where that which often remains in its place suddenly seems to be no longer there." These are the words used by art critic Domenico de Chirico to describe the work of Belgian artist Tom Van Puyvelde.

Tom Van Puyvelde (b.1985) live...

De sculptura is a collection of ideas about sculpture that could inspire a range of insights into the discipline. They

kinds of images with which we are surrounded. The fact that sculpture, more than any other artform, succeeds in captivating us beyond the boundaries of time and space is due to the slowness of a medium that eradicates all elaborations on content, so that the scu...
