LUC HAMBLOK
Lives and works in Eksel, Belgium
https://www.luchamblok.be
Luc Hamblok, never far away from drawing pencils, pens
and paper in his early childhood, remains fascinated by
observing and the often surrealistic representation of
almost everything between insects and cathedrals. His
personal universe consists of strange characters in a self-
invented iconography. Recycling materials, skulls and bones
are his favorite ingredients. Combined with ceramics, they
are given a second life in a magical-realistic atmosphere,
sometimes with an affinity for Gothic. Old attics and flea
markets offer an inexhaustible source of curiosities that
feed the artist’s imagination and eventually reappear in a
new poetic creation.
