Robin Berrewaerts
His work is situated between furniture and sculpture with a strong emphasis on materiality and craftsmanship. He creates objects that may follow, or deliberately escape, traditional forms and functions.
Material, gestures, and intuition meet to form ideas. The process is physical and energetic. Every movement, every repeated gesture, is a way of searching for the right personality of the object. Working the material is a continuous negotiation. Sometimes repetitive, sometimes almost meditative, the process demands presence in the moment, changing tools, testing textures, following what the material suggests. There is a point where things come together, when texture and shape begin to speak the same language. These moments mark the beginning of many pieces.
Wood remains central to his practice for its diversity in form and condition. Whether sourced directly from a tree or industrially processed, each piece carries its own identity, guiding the process and outcome.
Many works incorporate black as a concluding gesture through burning, oxidizing, or painting. This final layer absorbs light and shifts perception, drawing attention first to form and surface, before the material reveals itself.
