Artwork from the VIERNULVIER Collection
Artist: Strook (Stefaan De Croock) | BE | 2015
A major renovation of the Concertzaal and VIERNULVIER offices was completed in autumn of 2015. To celebrate, Bruges-based visual artist Stefaan De Croock (aka Strook) created a work commissioned by VIERNULVIER. The colourful, abstract collage is a cross between a line drawing and Strook’s well-known assemblage technique. Composed of both digital and analogue elements (such as woodgrain patterns), it was eventually applied as a large sticker on the wall belonging to our neighbours at VOKA.
The work is only really visible from the top floor of the COOP, where VIERNULVIER’s offices are housed, which unfortunately is not publicly accessible. But not to worry: you can see another of Strook’s works from the Scheldeterras – one he created for the launch of Street Art Belgium’s cycling and walking route.
Stefaan De Croock studied at Ghent’s LUCA School of Arts and creates sculptures, collages, installations and paintings. The central theme within his work is that of time, which is reflected in his preference for weathered wood as a source material. His street art is internationally acclaimed. One of his characteristic portraits, made from reclaimed wood, graces the album cover of ‘Skepsels’ by Het Zesde Metaal.
