Today, Tara, an artist from Studio Sem introduced me to Daniel Couvreur in his studio at yard Giorgio Angeli.
Daniel was feeling poorly, but this did nothing to diminish his big spirit and warm welcome.
Most studios I visit have objects, ideas, drawings, work in progress etc each occupying a bit of the room, each having their own bit of space in which to breathe and be seen. By contrast, much of Daniel's work is contiguous.
There are no obvious beginnings or ends. The work feels like one long journey of a sculpture interrupted every now and again by shelf ends, uprights and edges of tables.
The elements are mostly discards from the industries here that Daniel has scavenged from streams, fields and river beds.
Each piece is carefully and sensitively joined to the next.
And together they make what I feel is an epic of a personal story.
Daniel and Tara
