The sculptures of the ROU Materiaal come from the search for centuries-old Italian trees that have been cut down because they are sick or dead on their feet; the woods are treated in such a way as to combine the use of techniques that enhance natural veins or imperfections with others that give a more contemporary texture, such as fire, sand, gilding and resins. Resins and acrylics are the main means to which fillers and cement are added over time. The worked surfaces of ROU Materiaal evoke stones. The link between a "primitive" material world and the search for contemporary forms and textures represent the leitmotif of the poetics of ROU Materiaal.
