Frank Van den Broeck, Fire and Fiction; Museum Beelden aan Zee, The Hague

Imagine you are a god, one without much experience.

You are given some basic materials to create and there is just one command: let your hands improvise while your mind feels the joy and aw of the life you are creating.

You are so amazed at what you make that you hope you will never obtain your official Divine Certificate.

To hell with official divinity as long as you are happy to let the smoke of your fire transform into the most wondrous shapes!

While the Elder Gods tell you that you should be doing some Serious Things now with your abilities, you ignore them.

You just keep on kneading and bending with your hands.

After all, what is there to lose?

Shrug off Henry Moore and immerse yourself in the work of Frank Van den Broeck (1950) at Museum Beelden aan Zee!
