KOBE (Jacques SAELENS)
Gesture becoming form
Inspired by travels through Latin America, Africa and Asia, Kobe developed a unique sculptural language of broad elongated figures shaped by inner tension and quiet sensuality.
SCULPTURAL LANGUAGE
Gesture Becoming Form
Kobe’s sculptures explore the human figure through simplified monumental forms and controlled balance.
Working between Belgium and Pietrasanta in Italy, he created timeless works in marble and bronze where sensuality, silence and human presence converge.
“The body remembers what words cannot express.”
SELECTED WORKS
