Description

Gilbert DE SMET Monumental carved wooden door, 1969 Carved oak and metal parts Height: 4.07 m; Width: 1.48 m; Thickness: 7 cm Sold by designation Gilbert de Smet was born on March 15, 1932 in Erembodegem, Belgium. From 1945 to 1952, he studied at the Aalst Academy, where his teacher was the sculptor G. Van Den Meersche. He creates his works using direct carving. Beforehand, he makes a few sketches, in which he defines only the essential elements. The artist does not polish his work to give the material a rough appearance. He strives for an expressive line with fairly heavy contours. His theme: man in general, the worker and his wife, the mother. Simple people. In his youth, he worked in a furniture factory, which is why he feels so close to the working-class world.
