Francis Upritchard, Swamp Creature, 2022, bronze with steel armature, 350 x 174 x 230 cm.
Francis Upritchard's Swamp Creature (2022) and Inhabited Stone (2024), are included in DAUWRAUW: A Bruegelian Landscape at the Castle Estate Marnis de Sainte Aldegonde in Bornem. Curated by Joost Declercq, the group exhibition is centred on the master engravings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Upritchard’s work draws on figurative sculpture, blending references from literature to ancient figures, and burial grounds to science fiction. Upritchard is one of seven artists who have been commissioned to create new artworks or reformulate existing artworks within the Castle's grounds.
