About the Item

Signes Wall Sculpture in Natural Wood by Jean-Baptiste Van Den Heede Numbered and signed. Dimensions: D 1 x W 360 x H 10 cm Materials: Natural wood SIGNES is a natural wood sculpture with traces of white paint but it can also be lacquered in color. “La pata de la silla de mi cocina” is a sculptural series that draws on everyday life to achieve the poetic. I take as my starting point an ordinary, functional object: the typical kitchen chair, that silent, humble, forgotten presence of everyday life. But I do not represent it in its entirety: I focus on its leg, on that side profile that goes unnoticed and yet supports the entire structure. Through assembly and play, this familiar silhouette is broken down and reconfigured to give it a new voice. The sculptures emerge as hybrid creatures, halfway between sign and abstract sculpture. Each piece is a free reinterpretation, sometimes humorous, sometimes poetic, that seems to ask: what would happen if a functional fragment ceased to obey its purpose? The compositions, far from seeking symmetry or perfection, explore unstable balance and irregular rhythm, as if each sculpture were discovering its new identity for itself. In this gesture of taking the domestic and giving it another life, I invite you to look at the world with different eyes. To discover, in the banal, an inexhaustible source of forms, gestures and sculptural possibilities. Thus, what was once a chair leg becomes a manifesto of imagination and formal freedom. Jean-Baptiste Van den Heede defines himself as a cabinetmaker-designer and an artist of academic training and family tradition. He has achieved unique designs of national and international prestige and has several awards in avant-garde furniture. Born in Argentina in 1966, from an Argentine mother and a Belgian father. At 5 years of age he and his family moved to Belgium. To train as a wood professional, he first studied 4 years of carpentry. Then he continued training in cabinetmaking and carving for 5 more years. Always in search of contributing something more to his trade, he studied furniture and antique design, culminating this with the study of Sculpture at the Royal Academies of Fine Arts in Liège (Belgium) and graduating with honors. Work the stone, the wood and experience the forge. From the beginning it is directed towards a search for signs, abstract writings and unrealistic figures in analogy with other “primitive” cultures. He taught drawing and sculpture in Brussels at the private school “la main et l´ esprit” As well as summer courses in Liege (Belgium) “les ateliers d´art contemporain”. In 1995 he went to Barcelona where he taught and investigated the reliefs of different supports such as trees, floors, and especially sewer covers. He searched again analogies between current art and prehistoric, African art, etc. Participated in several exhibitions both at the artistic level and avant-garde design. In 2002, he moved down to Albacete and then to a town in the province where he still works. It is defined as “a search engine without haste or guidelines.” He says: “I only work when I feel a strong and positive inspiration invade me, an energy that I capture from matter, from the air and that I return doing the work until I feel a connection with it.” Private workshop of contemporary art in Letur (Albacete) until 2009. He currently works in his workshop-studio in the Sierra de Madrid (Guadalix de la Sierra) following his career as a cabinetmaker-designer and artist while teaching his trade to students interested in wood.
