Artist Statement:
Mark Dedrie, an artist in
motion by Robin
d'Arcy Shillcock
The first things you notice
when confronted by work of
Belgian sculptor Mark Dedrie
(1962) are the stylized shapes
and their highly polished
finish.
Although working within the
tradition in which colour is
omitted in favour of form, his
approach is not so much
classical an literal as
turning a refined distillation
of visual reality into a
sculptural statement. He
transforms a world of colour
and movement into a world of
presences, of volumes and
elegant lines, and manages
weightlessness in heavy

tactile, visually attractive
sculptures. There aren’t too

stylize animal shapes well,
and even fewer that seek the
degree of refinement Dedrie is
striving for. It results in
soft and sensual surfaces that
underline the exquisite grace
of birds like ducks and
long-legged waders. There are
honestly merely a few I can
name. François Pompon (France
1855-1933) worked on Rodin’s
marble sculptures before
becoming one of the greatest
animal sculptors of the modern
era. His work instigated what
I call the Movement of Form,
comprising the sculptors who
preferred to distance

Artist Reviews:
review:
" the combination of powerful
shapes, elegance and wide
interpretation drive your
sculptures to be truly
flattering for the eye.The
shapes show a perfect balance
between stability and
mobility.This is what makes a
dead object become alive; the
elegant movement to which we
are invited, gives us the ...
