TOPPAL represents some essential themes in the oeuvre of Nick Ervinck. The overall composition is very dynamic but at the same time held together by a rigid, geometric structure. This seeming contradiction expresses a tension that Ervinck tries to synthesize. The dynamic sculpture interacts with the architectural surroundings, situating between sculpture and architecture, between art and design. With this sculpture, Ervinck builds on the heritage of artists like Anthony Caro.
