ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The hoop is completely in bronze, as is the ring and base. Ring and base are polished, the child itself has a burnt brown patina. I clayed the sculpture and had it cast, after which I completely finished and polished it myself. the edition is 10 pieces, I have 2 in stock, after each sale I pour the next one to offer. sometimes it can take a while. I imagine the Hooper myself around my 8-10 years old. I wasn't allowed to play outside much, in my mind I could go wherever I wanted. The hoop represents the circle in which I could spiritually go through to my own little world, where my high sensitivity could develop and nobody could stop me. Dutch: De hoepelaar is volledig in brons, de ring en sokkel ook. Ring en sokkel zijn gepolijst, het kind zelf is bruin gebrand gepatineerd. Ik heb het beeld gekleid en alaten gieten waarna ik het zelf weer helemaal heb afgewerkt en gepolijst. de oplag is 10 stuks, 2 heb ik er op voorraad liggen, na elke verkoop giet ik weer de volgende om aan te bieden. soms kan het even duren. De hoepelaar stel ik zelf voor rond mijn 8-10 jaar. Ik mocht niet veel buiten spelen, in mijn gedachten kon ik wel gaan en staan waar ik wilde. De hoepel stelt de cirkel voor waarin ik spiritueel doorheen kon naar mijn eigen wereldje, daar waar mijn hooggevoeligheid zich kon ontwikkelen en niemand kon mij tegenhouden.

Visual artist/Graphic designer, born on July 19, 1967 in Bergh. Patrick Beverloo is a versatile artist who manages to make the unconscious tangible with his work and thus touches people deeply in their souls. Early in his life, Patrick had a keen eye for the beauty of the world around him. As a young boy, he spent many hours drawing, clay modelling, and woodcarving. He was always looking for new ways to express his imagination. Through his childhood experimentation and an innate passion for design, Patrick Beverloo naturally developed into different art styles. Although his childhood was not easy for the artist in the making. The separation of his parents was difficult for Patrick and with four sisters, there was not much money for materials. But with primitive tools like a bread knife, fork, and spoon, Beverloo laid the foundation for his later craftsmanship. He obtained clay from the meadows near his great-grandmother's house in the village of Spijk aan de Rijn. With a simple chisel and a Stanley knife, Patrick created impressive sculptures. Later, his talents were further developed at graphic school and the academy of fine arts. His uncle Henry, a well-known fine artist, immediately recognized the creative talent in his curious nephew. While Uncle Henry taught him drawing, he also taught Patrick to "look" better and taught him all the tricks of the trade. "It's 95% looking and 5% doing," Uncle Henry always said. With his uncle, Patrick discussed various art forms and the life of an artist. He was told that he was related to the famous painter Corneille. Corneille had a sign on his door that said, "Do not disturb!" This is something that Beverloo recognizes and he added ‘’not even for a moment!’’ to the sign on his own door. Because when he is in the creative flow, he prefers to lock himself in his studio. Patrick's father was a task-oriented craftsman who put his son to work in his workshop with wood, metal, and polyester. Assisting with sawing and drilling, puttying and sanding. It was hard work for the little boy, with little room for playfulness and freedom. As a result, between the ages of 9 and 14, Patrick gained a lot of all-round material knowledge, which can still be seen in the perfect finish of his artworks today. His father demanded perfection from his son. In between, he had to clean the shed, anything to keep him at home and at work.
