Tom Volkaert (Antwerp, 1989) is an artist whose work blends organic, contorted forms with vibrant, contrasting colours. Best known for his distinctive ‘steering wheel’ sculptures – round, open circles reminiscent of a steering wheel, supported by short legs – Volkaert’s work searches for the beauty and value of human vulnerability and finitude. Volkaert’s most recent sculptures extend into the realm of furniture design. Drawing inspiration from the vanitas tradition, a genre rooted in early modern painting, these sculptures feature cartoonish depictions of objects that unmistakably symbolize illness, addiction, and decay. The combination of playful and dark, serious themes is unique to Volkaert’s work.
