HEAVENLY HUMAN
CERAMICS AND PHOTOS
This group of sculptures refer to Cycladic art (4 centuries BC). These human figures
appear to be looking up at the Sun or the Universe in which our Earth orbits as a tiny
planet. They are universal images, perhaps even witnesses to a goddess cult. The
sculptor Gilbert Degraeuwe was fascinated by them and made them again and again.
We invite you to a moment of silence with these images. Let them speak to you. Or turn
towards the light from the West and look in the direction these figures are looking. Adopt
the attitude that inspires you. Breathe calmly. Have a photo taken of your posture and
post it on Instagram with the hashtag #heavenlyhuman
Surrounding these sculptures are also five photos by Kristof Degrauwe from the series
The Tantric Body (Brasilia – 2016). They fit in perfectly with the group of statues. With their
meditative attitude (mudra) and the presence of existing cosmic constellations (NASA)
they express the same mysticism. www.kristofdegrauwe.com
