I.XI.XIV - CONRAD WILLEMS
Maxim Willemspad 1
, 8300 Knokke-Heist
About the artwork
In 2014, Conrad Willems began a series of architectural sculptures made of natural stone. Named ‘Constructions’, constructed from marble slabs imperceptibly glued to a metal structure, they are shaped like the famous wooden playing blocks developed by 19th-century pedagogue Friedrich Fröbel. The Rouge Griotte marble was extracted from the last active red marble quarry in Belgium.
About the artist
Conrad Willems is a visual artist who works with drawings and sculptures. Geometry, repetition and modularity are three basic tenets in all his works, resulting in his signature, highly-recognisable visual language.
