    ART & SCULPTURE PROJECTS Dates: Du 15 septembre au 31 octobre, 2011. Vernissage: le jeudi 15 septembre 2011 de 18h00 à 21h00. Concerne: Exposition individuelle du sculpteur Hanneke Beaumont Lieu: LKFF Art & Sculpture Projects, Rue Blanche nr 15, B-1050 Bruxelles Le 15 septembre 2011, la galerie LKFF Art & Sculpture Projects aura le plaisir d’inaugurer une exposition individuelle consacrée au sculpteur Hanneke Beaumont. Les visiteurs pourront y décou- vrir une douzaine d’oeuvres récentes, pour la plupart inédites sur notre territoire. Très présente sur la scène artistique internationale (à travers l’Europe, les USA, le Canada, et plus récemment, l’Inde et l’Asie), l’artiste s’est faite plus discrète ces dernières années dans notre pays. Les navetteurs avertis auront toutefois apperçu sa remarquable sculpture «Stepping Forward» (hauteur: 6m) installée rue de la Loi devant de Conseil de l’U.E. De toutes les formes d’art, la sculpture est sans conteste la plus tactile. Sa tridimensionnalité ti- tille nos sens et nous invite à explorer la mobilité de la forme visuelle. Qui n’est pas tenté d’effleu- rer les corps abstraits, lisses et obliques d’un Henry Moore? Malgré cela, les personnages solitaires créés par Hanneke Beaumont n’attirent ni ne refusent le toucher. Leur puissance réside ailleurs. Tranquilles, stoïques, ils sont investis d’un pouvoir absolu d’émotion. L’humanité cherche inlassablement des réponses à nos éternelles interrogations : «Qui sommes-nous? Que sommes nous? Où allons-nous?». Une quête à laquelle font écho les sculptures de Hanneke Beaumont qui représentent «L’Homme» au sens large du terme.

Hanneke Beaumont - « Interaction & Self-protection » - Sculptures Where? LKFF Art & Sculpture Projects, 15 Rue Blanche, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium LKFF Art & Sculpture Projects is proud to present «Interaction & Self-Protection», a new solo exhibition of international Dutch artist Hanneke Beaumont. Inspired by the title of the sculpture she set up in Ganshoren (Brussels) in the year 2000, this exhibition illustrates how the themes portrayed by Beaumont resonate ever more in today’s society. A society where each day, the media raise our global level of anxiety through headlines of terror, refugee crisis, Brexit, US elections, etc. Reactions worldwide seem in endless contradic- tion, from understanding, openness and charity to withdrawal, closing doors and self-protec- tion. How will our western society deal with the various global crises? How will it deal with fear and grief? How will it evolve? Hanneke Beaumont’s sculptures represent Man in the broader sense, in all of his humanity. In this respect, they also illustrate man’s vulne- rability, fragility, fears and doubts. How to cope with the world we live in while preserving our inherited values but also a secure future, even when there seems to be a conflict between the two. Beaumont’s sculptures do not appear as portraits of particular individuals, nor are they modelled after idealised human forms. Physi- cally, they are approximations of human beings, and as such, they provide a way to consider general ideas about the nature of the human race.

  • Selected Biography
    HANNEKE BEAUMONT - Selected Biography « Who are we? What are we? Where are we going? ». Man’s perennial questions are echoed by Hanneke Beaumont’s work , but she also raises more specifically contemporary issues as in her cast iron sculpture «Abundance & Chaos». Many of her figures appear neither male nor female, neither young nor old. They do not appear as portraits of particular individuals, nor are they modeled after idealized human forms. Physically, they are approximations of human beings, and as such, they provide a way to consider, from a distance, general ideas about the nature of the human race. Their positions are not aggressive or provocative, but neither are they resigned. Fragile but strong, motionless but ready to move, these figures seem in a weightless spatial equilibrium - their human character tied to a string of thought. Dressed in timeless « clothes », partly structured material, intertwined with the body, they defy our perception without shocking our sensibility. Hanneke Beaumont was born in Maastricht (Netherlands). After studying in the U.S., she returned to Europe and came to Belgium. Beaumont started her artistic studies at the académie des Arts de Braine l’Alleud, then followed sculpture at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de La Cambre and at the Hogere Rijksschool voor Beeldende Kunsten in Anderlecht. She had her very first solo show in 1983. An important turn in her carrier happened in 1994 when she was awarded, for her sculpture group « Le Courage », the major award of the Centre International d’Art Contemporain Château Beychevelle. Shortly after, she participated in the second Exposiciòn Internacional de Esculturas en la Calle, organized by the Colegio de Arquitectos de Canarias in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where her work was permanently installed.

    HANNEKE BEAUMONT at Cromwell Place - 19th to 30th May 09/05/2021 Bowman Sculpture [email protected] www.bowmansculpture.com Dear friends and clients, We are delighted to invite you to our latest exhibition featuring an iconic selection of works by contemporary artist Hanneke Beaumont. The solo exhibition will take place from the 19th to the 30th of May in Gallery 11 at Cromwell Place in South Kensington. Bookings are in groups of up to 6 people and are essential. If you would like to RSVP, please click here. We very much look forward to seeing you there. For questions and sales inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] Bowman Sculpture [email protected] www.bowmansculpture.com At first glance, Hanneke Beaumont’s sculptures are eye-catching, monumental human figures crafted from terra cotta clay or cast in bronze or iron. However, as the Dutch-born sculptor would attest, their true meaning and inspiration is found far deeper beneath these raw and natural surfaces. The inner workings of Beaumont’s sculptures extend beyond the perceived importance of easily digestible features and themes. Her work allows for a universal approach to humanity’s psychological condition of a constant battle between self-doubt and confidence, contentment and yearning, strength and fragility, and contemplation and detachment. “The inner dimension of the sculpture is essential to my work. I represent the human being, regardless of where he’s from, who he is or what he does. I believe some feelings are universal to mankind and wish to express these,” says Beaumont.

  • HANNEKE BEAUMONT Timeless Expressions of the Enduring Human Condition
    HANNEKE BEAUMONT Timeless Expressions of the Enduring Human Condition At first glance, Hanneke Beaumont’s sculptures are eye-catching, monumental human figures crafted from terracotta clay or cast in bronze or iron. However, as the Dutch-born sculptor would attest, their true meaning and inspiration is found far deeper beneath these raw and natural surfaces. The inner workings of Beaumont’s sculptures extend beyond the perceived importance of easily digestible features and themes. Her work allows for a universal approach to humanity’s psychological condition of a constant battle between self-doubt and confidence, contentment and yearning, strength and fragility, and contemplation and detachment. “The inner dimension of the sculpture is essential to my work. I represent the human being, regardless of where he’s from, who he is or what he does. I believe some feelings are universal to mankind and wish to express these,” says Beaumont. Gender and age have little importance in Beaumont’s work, who states Bowman Sculpture [email protected] www.bowmansculpture.com that her sculptures are not constrained by masculinity or femineity, but rather focus on “universal human feelings, like courage or melancholy”. The sculptor creates her figures out of earth and fire, patient in her meticulous process that brings these seemingly expressionless figures to life. They do not inhabit our lives through distinct features or anatomical correctness, but rather the human feelings they express through their postures and understated facial expressions, which have been carefully thought out by the sculptor. Beaumont once worked with live models, but found she had more freedom of expression working solely from her own raw, uninfluenced thoughts and emotions.
