Bram Vanderbeke (°1991, BE. Lives and works in Ghent, BE) works as an artist and designer. His practice is diverse but consistent and stands out for its material, sculptural and monumental qualities. Vanderbeke explores and transforms the possible interactions between an object, its architectural environment and its user, further challenged by raw materiality, form and functionality. His works are at the same time autonomous artistic manifestations and utile solutions, an ambiguity Vanderbeke deliberately aims for. The works often influence the spatial perception of the environment they become part of, sometimes by extending an existing space through creating a new space within it.
