ABOUT Eric De Dormael

 He designs and produces unique works, made of brass or stainless steel wire, born of an encounter between light and architectural forms. He pushes the research on the luminous effects to its climax: shadows, reflections, patina ... and integrates the light sources into his sculptures in order to transform them into decorative elements. His interlacings, structured or random, play with form and counter-form to create shapes and shadows marked with great delicacy.
 The drawing holds a primordial place in his work and is at the origin of each creation. Each idea is first worked in pencil, both for Ombre Portée and for his personal work. His work also feeds on a multitude of influences born from the observation of architecture, nature and atmospheric effects.
 He strives to create images, impressions, sensations of light, and to create, from these games of light, poetic objects characterized by their lightness, fluidity of form and transparency.
