Work and Life
Kobe was a Belgian sculptor, know for his instantly recognizable bronze and marble sculptures.
Two themes dominated his creations: the female figure in all its simplicity and mystery, and horse as a symbol of strength, companionship and connection.
The simplicity radiating from Kobe’s sculptures conceals their ingenious nature. It is extremely difficult, time and again to express this extreme compactness of feeling or emotion in a sculpture when you negotiate the tightrope of board, wide and thin, narrow at the same time. Within an invisible boundary Kobe searched for the maximum expressiveness.
