Bram Vanderbeke
I am a maker, so for me, it is very important to go to the atelier directly to experiment with connections and textures.
Bram Vanderbeke, born in 1991, is an artist and designer from Ghent, Belgium. He graduated from the Design Academy (Eindhoven) in 2016, complementing a prior training in Interior Design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Ghent. His practice is diverse but consistent and stands out for its material, sculptural and monumental qualities.
Bram Vanderbeke explores and transforms the possible interactions between an object, its architectural environment and its user, further challenged by raw materiality, form and functionality. His works are in the same time autonomous artistic manifestations and utile solutions, an ambiguity Bram Vanderbeke deliberately aims for.
Bram Vanderbeke designs are autonomous artistic manifestations defined by raw materiality and monumentality. He creates his Architectural Objects and rhythmic installations in varying dimensions, both in private and in public contexts. The works often influence the spatial perception of the environment they become part of, sometimes by extending an existing space through creating a new space within it.
