About
Willem has a classical approach to sculpture
He likes to explore the body, whether human or animal
Most of his works present a dramatic tension with an unbalanced perception of gravity.
He sometimes likes to introduce movement, it is then endangering his compositions
which confine to the unstable balance, while revealing each time the nobility and the grace.
His admiration for the antique can be seen in his most recent works
His pieces are fragmented, he strips his models, he thus conditions the spectators
gaze, he upsets it, he hypnotizes it.
Willem believe in the words of Leonardo da Vinci that his Art is never finished, only abandoned
Willem Botha
