Description
MODEST by Nele Serpieters GARDECO
Enjoy handcrafted art pieces by belgian designer brand Gardeco. When creating the artwork Modest, the artist Nele Serpieters did not have a defined plan. She let the sculpture grow by itself, assembling organic shapes and organising them in such a way that the whole works somewhat alienating. No matter what angle Modest is viewed from, it is never what it seems and makes us reflect about shape and substance, beauty and decay. A smooth bronze surface, flowing organic lines and a grey blue patina contribute to the sculpture’s mysterious and intriguing appearance.
Bronze is a precious metal composed traditionally of copper and tin. It has been held in high esteem throughout many eras for its strength and ability to render precise features and various surfaces. Gardeco devotes a long chapter to this material, because it makes sculptures come alive in different ways than any other medium. All of Gardeco’s bronze sculptures are created using the ancient lost wax method. Designs of both upcoming and renowned artists are transformed into timeless and luxurious statement pieces fit for any interior. Most of our bronze sculptures are limited editions and therefore numbered and signed.
