Description

This is the first monograph on contemporary Belgian artist Stefaan De Croock (b.1982), alias Strook.

He became well known for his ‘heads’ made of scrap wood.

The key theme of his layered collages, sculptures and installations is, in a word, time, and is visible in every piece of the rough, patinated raw material he chooses to compose his works.

Most frequently this is wood. “Old, weathered materials have something magical for me.

They emanate a certain spontaneity that is impossible to recreate.

The colours, the paint, the relief… they form an imprint of everything the material ever experienced.

You can truly see time.” - StrookAs part of the Mind the Artist project by Musea Brugge, work by Strook will be on show from 30 October 2021 to 6 March 2022 at various historic locations throughout the city. Text in English and Dutch.
