Starting point of Nick Ervinck's sculptures mostly is specific, visible phenomena and forms. Trained as a sculptor, he always tries to take existing elements from physical reality. These are than further transformed using digital techniques. This way, new dialogues between old and new, between tradition and innovation and between sculpting and new media arise. This sculpture is situated in the world between the virtual and the real. By copy-pasting, montage and collage, Ervinck designs virtual and abstract forms. This eclectic technique enables him to create what can hardly be thought of, or what cannot be made by hand. ZIEBLOY tells a story of 'becoming', for the sculpture looks like a living, dynamic substance, which keeps on growing and transforming. This outside sculpture is designed fully digital, yet, it is manufactured by hand, using polyester. The structure seems to be the result of a spontaneous, natural erosion process (think on how water hollows out rocks). At the same time, the bright colours and the shiny surface seem to contradict the organic, and gives the sculpture the allure of an artefact. With ZIEBLOY, references to Henry Moore and the modernist sculptors are evident. It’s made from iron, polyurethane, and polyester. (300 x 430 x 360 cm, 118.1 x 169.3 x 141.7 inches)

Fostering a cross-pollination between the digital and the physical, Nick Ervinck (°1981, Belgium) explores the boundaries between various media.
Studio Nick Ervinck applies tools and techniques from new media, in order to explore the aesthetic potential of sculpture, 3D prints installation, architecture and design. Through his divergent practice, a strong fascination with the construction of space is noticeable.
Not only does Nick Ervinck focus on the autonomous sculptural object, he also questions its spatial positioning and points to the phenomenological experience and embodiment of space. Ervinck's work in short oscillates between the static and the dynamic, prospecting new virtual or utopian territories.
