Iconics
Mijn naam is McClaud, en in mijn studio breng ik een ode aan nostalgie en popcultuur door iconische speelgoedvormen uit onze jeugd te transformeren tot autonome kunstobjecten. Mijn creatieve proces is onlosmakelijk verbonden met mijn persoonlijke leefwereld. Omdat ik nagenoeg volledig doof ben, ervaar ik de wereld op een heel andere, intens visuele manier. De constante alertheid die nodig is om in een horende maatschappij te navigeren, laat ik achter me zodra ik de deur van mijn atelier dichttrek. Gelegen aan de serene Spaanse kust, vind ik in de stilte van de zee de ultieme rust en focus om te creëren. Hier kan ik volledig mezelf zijn en me verliezen in de kleinste details van de materie. Die diepe focus en stilte zie je terug in mijn werk. Wat ooit begon als een universeel symbool van onze kindertijd – het klassieke plastic figuurtje – krijgt onder mijn handen een compleet nieuw, volwassen en doorleefd leven. Door handmatige processen zoals extreme oxidatie, het aanbrengen van rauwe roest- en koperpatina’s, of het minutieus bewerken met high-fashion texturen en fonkelende kristallen, breek ik de steriele plastic realiteit open. Het resultaat is een fascinerend spanningsveld tussen een tastbaar, analoog verleden en de moderne, technologische wereld van nu. Elk object is met uiterste precisie en geduld gecomponeerd, belicht en verfijnd tot een monumentaal galeriebeeld. Mijn kunstwerken nodigen uit tot vertraging. Ze dwingen de toeschouwer om stil te staan, te kijken
