Beju

ARTIST STATEMENT

Beju, one of the curators, is a sculptor who explores the theme of contradiction by reversing the intrinsic qualities of the materials he uses, primarily metal and wood. His work concentrates on the shift in perception of the object, using a variation of trompe l’oeil techniques as a means of altering the reality of the piece being created. His careful balance of material and technique combine to bring the elements to life often with a humorous or sentimental touch.
