Artist, sculptor, designer with a degree from the Academie Beeldende Kunsten in Maastricht, the Netherlands, Kaspar Hamacher takes nature as the starting point in his day-to-day life as a sculptor and a designer of artistic furniture. Monoxyle purity blooms from sylvan beauty. Raised amongst the trees by his forest ranger father in the Eastern Cantons of Belgium, he has forged his path through the world of art and design, moving between sculpture and the contemporary applied arts. Far from the rush of our digital world, Kaspar Hamacher creates a close and unique connection with each fragment of trunk he sculpts, crafting unique stamped pieces, from his own creative mastery. Somewhere between art and design, he deliberately focuses on the object in all its physical strength, as a “maker” rather than a conceptual designer. His abilities with wood as a living material are the fruit of his energy and his imagination: whether working with a tree trunk or branch, or a piece of leather, for him it is essential to respect the authenticity at every step of the creative process. In his design approach, which he calls Die Werkstatt (The Workshop), since his exhibition at Spazio Nobile in 2017, Hamacher has always aimed to produce a piece that is both unique and personal, with a strong meaning and added soul. Le Sacre de la Matière refers to his quest for authenticity and Mother Earth is at the heart of his identity. His solo show Kaspar Hamacher, The Man of Wood, at CID Hornu, Grand Hornu (Mons, BE) will run from 26 June until 26 September 2021.
