"The Fire Within" (Finalist for Paravel Appartments"
This is a new direction for me - more loose and abstract - and I'm really enjoying it.
While it was a finalist for this project, it didn't get chosen so it's free to be chosen for the next big project.
I'm planning on exploring more of these forms and finding clients for them.
If you are interested in this piece or others, please shoot me a note.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Kyle Fokken
Sculptor
I am a mixed media sculptor who combines diverse imagery into hybrid sculptures that explore cultural contexts between people.
I use vintage toy and ‘folk art’ aesthetics to explore the passing down of cultural values between generations. I make artwork that tantalizes the eye and invites the audience to linger and look deeper at the work and reflect on what we believe about ourselves.
