Roger Pintens – Untitled (Assemblage Sculpture)
In this enigmatic assemblage, Roger Pintens weaves together fragments of wood, metal, and cast bronze to form a striking meditation on memory, identity, and decay. At its heart stands a fragmented bust — a human form caught between emergence and disintegration — enclosed within an architectural frame that recalls both a shrine and a ruin.
Pintens’ work often blurs the boundaries between sculpture and construction, the sacred and the discarded. Here, the carefully balanced composition transforms weathered materials into a poetic structure, evoking a sense of reverence for what is broken or forgotten. The green patina of the figure contrasts with the pale, eroded wood, suggesting the passage of time and the persistence of the human spirit amidst deterioration.
Simultaneously architectural and anthropomorphic, the piece becomes an altar to transformation — a quiet dialogue between craftsmanship, entropy, and the enduring beauty of imperfection.
