Since his 1995 graduation in illustration at Saint Luc Liege, Belgium, French artist Stephane Halleux has gone on to create splendid objects that give sculpture an entirely original slant.
Much of his work falls into a steampunk-deco zone, with a dash of Belgian-cartoonist flavour (Tintin was created by the Belgian Georges Remi, better known as Herge) added to the pot. Stephane uses materials such as sewn leather and machine parts to make objects with a ‘nevertech’ look, and very handsome they are too.
Stephane has shown his work in a series of prestigious galleries, and now his creations command attention on the international art market. It’s good to see that fantasy-style art can command respectable prices in this fashion-driven sales arena.
The trio of Halleux robots shown above are just a small taste of his work, though whether the portly robodog could ever compete onscreen with Doctor Who’s faithful metal hound K-9 (bottom), we’ll leave you to decide.
