Capucine Vandebrouck

Vandebrouck’s work is built up empirically. Her research is based on experience, observation and chance. A movement causes another, an idea leads to another, as they strive to create a sensitive space rather than to occupy it.

 

Recognizing that she works in a well travelled territory, " (...) how to consider making sculpture today ? For the artist, the answer is neither in the integration nor the total exclusion of the legacy of sculptural gestures. But more in a constant oscillation, where matter becomes a living and immediate form. Prepared to open sculpture out and push it's limits. A state on the edge, a precise moment, a decision where everything is up for grabs.

 

She is more involved in questions of space than of architecture and tries to make space felt rather than filling it up. She makes sculpture an issue of in/stability, where the process, the future of the work, its hidden aspects, its vicissitudes, disastrous or harmonious, are part of the adventure of a sculpture."¹
