Shadow Art | Fred Eerdekens

The light and sculpture work of belgian artist Fred Eerdekens is, in its finished form, shadow images. each piece is crafted from materials which have been altered by eerdekens in such a way that the observer is able to read his shadow creations. Eerdekens has developed a portfolio in which every piece is light-contingent. the shadows cast from the sculpted objects spell out the meaning of each work, as if the artist also speaks to the manifestation of fleeting memory. Clipped phrases are formed from either the negative or positive space offered by a projected light
interacting with the solid material. The resulting piece is one of a multidimensional message for the gallery goer— sculpture and significant language joined to form the piece in its entirety.
