Laurens de Blocq van Scheltinga

Laurens de Blocq van Scheltinga (1988)

I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature. When I was young my father and I collected a bucket with frogspawn, hoping for some awesome frogs for in our backyard. Seeing those weird eggs transform into small creatures and eventually into frogs, realy started my fascination for nature. Now, I use the forms of nature as the source of inspiration for my work.

My work based on my vision on nature and the collecting of it. I create my own creatures inspired by the forms of nature. Like sculptures and drawings based on natural curiosities.
All my sculptures are made out of synthetic materials, such as polymers, acrylics and epoxy. I also use natural materials in my sculptures, like real bird eggs, legumes and bones I found in the woods. I like a balance between things that are authentic combined with a fabricated piece. The combination of the natural and the artificial, whether it is in form or materials I use.

You can follow the process of my work on the photo’s I’ll post on my atelier, visible on the right side of my website. For any further news, follow me on Twitter and like me on Facebook. On the bottom of this page you can find other networks on which I’m active.
