[1][2] Leon Vranken's work is radical in its simplicity and pays tremendous attention to material and finish, expressing both tension and calm.
Vranken completed his education at the Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Ghent in 2007, and has had international exhibitions in cities including New York, Londen and Toronto.

One could describe his work as sculptural trompe l'oeils, alluring yet misleading configurations.
