About the Item

Designed by the Belgian postmodern design collective Hic et Nunc, this abstract postmodern sculpture in lacquered steel was created in the 1990s as a functional yet artistic object. Its central zigzag structure allows for the display of books, magazines, or decorative objects while maintaining a strong sculptural identity. Finished in vibrant yellow, it offers a playful contrast in both color and proportion. The sculpture’s measurements make it ideal as a horizontal or mid-height statement piece. When paired with the red version, the two works complement each other through contrasting scale and hue.

Belgian art and design, Michel Martens Postmodern Glass Sculpture
By Michel Martens
Located in Antwerp, BE

Signed by the artist on the bottom right corner. Belgium artist Michel Martens is famous for his impressive glass art. He created this postmodern piece of art in the 1970s. Martens (1921-2006) was a respected designer of stained glass windows and had an impressive career creating stained glass windows for churches. His credo was 'light is my material, glass my medium'. Martens was an autodidact and first taught himself the technique of stained windows. He designed an impressive 7000 meters stained glass between 1947 and 1989 for churches and monasteries. From 1968 onwards, Martens started to lose the church as a main client and therefore started to develop a practice in which he worked with mirrors that were also suitable for the private sector and private homes. With his radical and modern approach to glass art, Martens became part of the Post-war Abstract Modernist movement. Using mirrored glass opened up new perspectives for Martens. He even started using industrial glass as well, for his so-called 'Crazy Mirrors...
