Sober and capricious (Double column, black granite)
You may have the idea after a first look at a sculpture by Nico Kok that the form is built from stone elements searched together. This idea will soon be released on closer examination. For how is it possible to find loose elements that showing after stacking such a coherent form.
You realize that first there must have been a great… form and that later smaller elements had formed.
And indeed, this is the method of Nico Kok.. In advance,the choise of material and shape is determined. The preparation is of the upmost importance for the final result.
In the following stage, he takes one of the stones and goes to work as a sculptor. He places his chisel on the stone and splits it into chunks. He works well-considered and steering.Now the lines create that the fracture surfaces bounding. Lines that are later read when the sculpture is ready.
