MEET THE ARTIST

The Filipino Wire Artist Racso Jugarap (1989) emerges and proves to unite people by interests of unique and contemporary conception through his wire artistry. In 2015, the artist decided to choose Belgium, his home.

His concepts are the skeletons of his previous hand made pieces. The detailed wireworks give the impression of shadows in their organic form, a representation of levitation, grace, fluidity, resilience, and flow. The wire bender loses track of his time in deep focus while working on masterpieces.

Art manifestation has become an integral part of life where it is embraced in various disciplines and structures. The hand skill to divulge oneself’s expression and give the excuse for gathering shared experience in response to create a sub-culture.
