3 bronze 'tinder fungi' Sculpture

Olivier van Wijk ( 1971, Geleen, The Netherlands ) creates sculptures, mixed media and design. With a penchant for old craft and the combination with new techniques Olivier van Wijk provides a growing collection. His work has a sleek design language with a nod to the manual details. The work takes to the flora and fauna , the fantasy world and man as inspiration. His artwork tells us of transience and eternity . Contemporary superlatives dating back to long before our era. The dynamics in the work of Van Wijk follows its own rules and sequence . The tactile properties of the materials with which Olivier Van Wijk works are of great importance . Sometimes the material is thus decisive for the shape of its operation is just the contrast. Favorite material to work with Bronze, Stainless steel, Paper and Glass. My father Dick van Wijk graduated at the art academy in 1971. I'm the second generation with the fortunate position to have access to a high end clientele, build by my mother and art gallery owner Mariska Dirkx.
