Belgian Nose is a series of sculptures by Loup Sarion, originally released in New York in 2017 with Bunk Club and was made out of beeswax and urethane.
Six years later, Sarion decides to remake the works from the original shape and cast them in polished aluminum.
While the beeswax versions were based on the human original in terms of their so!ness, matt colors, surface and malleability, the new sculptures made of cast aluminum obtain a higher degree of abstraction. In addition to re”ecting light and their environment, they are water resistant and can be installed outdoors.
Existing as an edition of 12 that is signed and numbered, each aluminum nose shows unique variations in the degree of polishing and casting marks. These will be unveiled during a one night exhibition in a seasonal cactus garden and greenhouse in the Lower East Side in NY.
