About the Item

"Where do I go from here?" Sticky Thoughts Wooden [Sticky Thought 005] 84 cm x 70cm x 20cm Wood: Kiaat 2022 Sticky Thoughts(Collection Description): Sticky Thoughts is the process of acknowledging and wrestling with that which bubbles up from the subconscious. It is where doubt and fears can be overcome or overwhelm the psyche. It is the stage where one can fight or give in to the stickiness of an unstructured or ungrounded thought. Sticky thoughts lurk in the back of the mind, trying to get your attention, trying to latch on. They have the potential to offer new perspectives if engaged with it and ultimately understood. Artist Bio: Born in Johannesburg in 1991, sculptor Driaan Claassen first studied 3D animation before apprenticing with Otto du Plessis, artist and founder of Bronze Age Foundry. Claassen is currently based in Cape Town, where he opened his own design and fine art studio, Reticence, in 2015. Claassen works primarily in bronze, wood, and wire. Inspired by technology from a young age, he elevates the materiality of his sculptural mediums by merging cutting-edge machinery, traditional craftsmanship, and deep introspection. For Claassen, manipulating the physical world has psychological implications. Through the abstracted forms his sculptures take, whether solid or fractal, geometric or organic, he reflects on the structure of the human mind and thought. He explores the intersection of our consciousness with the outside world, where light and dark meet, positive and negative space, the defined and amorphous, order and chaos. Claassen has created a visual language that juxtaposes shape, colour, texture, and pattern to offer insight into his search for self-knowledge.
