JLB
Product description
Surreal sculptures in wrought iron sometimes combined with glass Wet feet. Artisan forged residential towers with water at their foot symbolized by 2 cm thick mass colored glass (albertini). Wet feet is part of artist JLB's Urban Jungle series and was created between fire, hammer and anvil. Inspiration for the series is the global proliferation of residential towers in major cities here with a reference to climate change, cause of flooding. Forging is a form of sculpting. The materials and technique used by the artist blend completely into the result. All sculptures have a high cuddliness factor, but are so layered that the viewer almost immediately seeks out 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 pursued 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 scultpures. After meeting and briefly interning with Martin Granel, he discovered the combination of glass with iron. The sculpture was given a coating that gave it a brown-black glow and accentuated and hammer marks, and the hand-cut blocks were glued together with translucent silicone.
