JLB
Product description
JLB works mostly with wrought iron sometimes combined with glass. But here he chose 2 colorful scenes encased in a wrought iron border. The 2 cm thick glass (albertini) was mass colored with natural oxides. The wrought iron rim was given a coating that provided the brown-black sheen. Dimensions for 1 panel : 25 cm high, 17 cm wide, 17 cm deep. The materials and the technique used by the artist completely blend into the result. The focus is mainly on the interplay between the two objects that are connected and the resulting story. Sunrise and sunset are relative concepts because their perception is caused by the earth's turning away hence the inverted solar half under the horizon at sunrise. All sculptures have a high cuddliness factor, but are so layered that the viewer almost immediately seeks the message and the relationship the viewer has with it.... Unique signed work from 2023 JLB received musical training at the Conservatory of Ghent after which he built a career as a horn player, conductor, composer and teacher. At the same time, his interest as a self-taught musician went to artisanal forging, first to restore or manufacture all kinds of ironwork in the old way. Later he discovered the possibilities of creating sculptures. After a meeting and short internship with Martin Granel, he discovered the combination of glass with iron. JLB regularly exhibits at the Garemyn Hall in Bruges. His work has also been shown at the Vlask gallery in Ghent.
