The studio of... Frans Klerkx
Frans Klerkx had drawn and painted his entire life, but the death of his wife prompted him to start working abstractly and sculpturally. At the age of 65, he became what he had always dreamed of becoming since childhood: a sculptor. Over the past 26 years, he has been making 'foldings', paper models with only the basic geometric shapes of a triangle, square and circle. A number of these, together with work by Alexandra Roozen and Ine Vermee, can now be seen at Coppejans Gallery in Antwerp.
