Marc D'Haenens

Marc D’Haenens was a Belgian sculptor who worked with myriad metals, including brass, bronze, copper and aluminum. Monumental in scale and freed from traditional forms, the screen by D’Haenens assumes an organic quality that contrasts with the industrial aluminum from which it is cast. He frequently combined metals and gemstones such as citrines and amethysts, rock crystal and lepidolite.
