  • THE NEW BURGHERS OF CALAIS

    [CLASSICALISM, TRADITIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART]

    This new grandiose version of the new Burghers is in contrast to the group of statues by Rodin, which consists of six individually made male torsos and then sunk together on one pedestal different from my version. However, it is one individual torso consisting of five rising faces in spiral continuity, not commemorating the

    "Hunderd Years war"but life-on-earth today under climat change, deadly viruses and the equally reprehensible social media and tools.

  • THE HEROIC LABORS OF HERCULES

    [CLASSICALISM, TRADITIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART]

    Second, Hercules traveled to the city of Lerna to slay the nine-headed Hydra—a poisonous, snakelike creature who lived underwater, guarding the entrance to the Underworld. For this task, Hercules had the help of his nephew Iolaus. He cut off each of the monster’s heads while Iolaus burned each wound with a torch. This way, the pair kept the heads from growing back.The Golden HindNext, Hercules set off to capture the sacred pet of the goddess Diana: a red deer, or hind, with golden antlers and bronze hooves. Eurystheus had chosen this task for his rival because he believed that Diana would kill anyone she caught trying to steal her pet; however, once Hercules explained his situation to the goddess, she allowed him to go on his way without punishment.

    CLASSICALISM, TRADITIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART.

    At the beginning of the 21st century, Master Sculptor Jan Frederik De Cock is expressing an innovative vision of contemporary art. Today, contemporary art is traditional. The time of breaking with tradition is over, now that the break itself has become a tradition.
