Katleen
Vinck
Katleen Vinck's sculptural work originates from her extreme fascination with architecture. Architectural foundations are often the last, imperishable remnants of long-lost civilisations. What Katleen Vinck wants to show is not the loss, but the beauty of what is temporary. Her work is more futuristic than post-apocalyptic, with everything changing over time into something new. The sculptures are rarely finished constructions or single monuments, but rather appeal to a translucent, elusive moment of transformation. The materials Katleen Vinck uses, such as concrete and clay, may seem cold and silent, but their aura sparkles with potential, with layers of time, with an ambition and expectation for transformation. She works with the essence of archetypal architectural elements, which function both as remnants and as a new beginning.
