The themes in Nicolas Dings’ creations draw upon the values and artistic traditions of the Renaissance. Incorporating a range of materials – from bronze to ceramics, plastic to textiles – he seamlessly blends the material and the symbolic, the physical and the spiritual, in a modern context. Through this approach, he constructs a whimsical and comedic realm, leaving space for personal interpretation. His visual expression has been subjected to societal and political scrutiny yet remains highly acclaimed. After all, by honoring the past, one naturally becomes a pioneer of imagination.
www.ftn-books.com has several DINGS titles available.
