This is a view from the exhibition I Spell It Nature by ANTOINE RENARD that is currently shown at the ghost gas station called Diesel in the outskirt of Liège.
BraveNewWorld study 2 (2016) is a series of wax candle sculptures which melted dramatically. The sculptures are gradually transformed, reshaped by drips and dribbles and dirtied by soot from the wick as the wax is consumed.
Among other works in the exhibition, this piece not only provides a clear glimpse into RENARD‘s concerns beyond monumentality but also prompts questions about materiality, and its control.
I Spell It Nature by ANTOINE RENARD is on view at Diesel Project Space in Liege until May 14, 2016
