‘Interior’ Rignald Lakker Exhibition
The Curaçao Museum
🗓
19 October 2023 19:00 t/m

Visit the exhibition INTERIOR by Rignald Lakker and observe the intricate, complicated, unreal, and brilliant ‘designs’ of twenty-six wooden sculptures on show in this exhibition.
The word ‘designs’ is placed here in parentheses because Lakker doesn’t make a design, sketch, or even think of a concept before he starts working on his sculptures. He just starts working and the ‘design’ of the sculpture just appears, and comes from deep within his INTERIOR and the INTERIOR of the piece of wood.
When he starts working on his sculptures, his mind, body, and soul goes somewhere else. He is simply not there, meaning that when he is done with a sculpture, he has no actual recollection of the whole process making some of his sculptures very unreal and not from this world.
Unreal, Surreal but oh so Real!
These marvelous, amazing, captivating, and incredible wooden sculptures are so ‘out of this world’ that you really have to see them for yourself to understand. There are really no adequate words to describe what Mr. Lakker, a self-taught artist and sculptor, is creating. Drop in and observe this wonder with your own eyes!
