The Man From Atlantis

myminifactory

Luk van Soom is an artist who creates art while seated Most of his works are made from the same clay, which eventually transforms into something new Every fresh start originates from the same queries: where does creativity come from? how do ideas emerge? how does one select a concept? and how does it evolve through manual labor as the sculptor shapes masses to create a bronze sculpture in the likeness of the Man from Atlantis demands maturity, expertise, and an immense amount of effort. From the Creation Universe, Van Soom's works take on unusual forms. They search for the source of things, capable of floating among stars, gazing into the future or past, and defying gravity. These bizarre figures, ships, fire, water, and buildings, along with the stargazers that Van Soom crafts, rely on your imagination to create their world, inviting you to dream and invent a story. The Atlantis Man shares this background, standing at four meters tall as his foot rests against a rocky peak or mountain, towering above the passing traffic and between buildings and the Waterloolaan's traffic flow. He presents a world that contrasts with the prevailing rhetoric of economy and efficiency. All elements surrounding the image gain new significance, relating to it in unique ways. You cannot ignore him; he appears poised to depart from his vantage point at any moment, exerting influence over the entire area within his reach.
