Dominique Stroobant

"As a creator, Dominique Stroobant is able to translate the questions born out of his curiosity into ideas and visions, which he then transforms into matter. His sculptures rise up from the depths of a creative spirit that might be compared to a quarry, having been built up from the traditional sediments of cultural and technological history. The questions Stroobant poses and the solutions he finds might serve to classify his complex actions as those of a sculptor, mason, photographer, draughtsman, scientist, engineer or mediator — if such definitions were not precluded by the inspiring anarchic streak in his nature. He is motivated by the interplay of order and disorder, a search for rules within seeming lawlessness and the joy of originality."
