Featured In Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium

$ On Inquiry

This monumental outside sculpture is the result of a digital designing process, but nevertheless is realised by hand, using polyester. The oeuvre of Nick Ervinck can be characterised by this continuous oscillation between the material and the virtual. While sculpting has been interpreted as the systematic liberation of the figure out of the marble or stone, Ervinck uses the virtual as a constructive principle. PRAHIARD is created in line with NIEBLOY and the 3D print IKRAUSIM. This work is based on the later work of Henry Moore, who crossed an abstract aesthetic language with sensuality and intimacy. Moore's concept of the 'negative space' is of crucial importance for Nick Ervinck as well. After all, PRAHIARD looks like a sculpture which embraces the empty space in between. As a result of this embrace, that empty space has become a sculptural instrument. It’s made from polyurethane and polyester. (440 x 340 x 225 cm, 173.2 x 133.9 x 88.6 inches)

Fostering a cross-pollination between the digital and the physical, Nick Ervinck (°1981, Belgium) explores the boundaries between various media.
Studio Nick Ervinck applies tools and techniques from new media, in order to explore the aesthetic potential of sculpture, 3D prints installation, architecture and design. Through his divergent practice, a strong fascination with the construction of space is noticeable.
Not only does Nick Ervinck focus on the autonomous sculptural object, he also questions its spatial positioning and points to the phenomenological experience and embodiment of space. Ervinck's work in short oscillates between the static and the dynamic, prospecting new virtual or utopian territories.
