Nick Ervinck's Olnetop has something monstrous about it. You can recognize different elements in the hybrid form, but the installation mainly refers to splashing waves. The Belgian artist is inspired by the natural dynamics of seawater that pounds against the breakwaters with constant force. With his work he tries to capture the sublime violence that lurks behind a serene surface. Based on a macro photographic image, Olnetop is an encounter between nature and technology. Ervinck calls it a virtual sculpture, completely digitally designed and not carved out of stone or carved out of wood, but still tangible due to the polyester version.

Olnetop, Artist: Nick Ervinck
This work was on display during the Beaufort04 art festival, and in 2015 was purchased by the town of Middelkerke. The 8-metre tall installation is evocative of splashing waves. The sculpture is inspired by a natural dynamic, but at the same time is moved by the power of the virtual. The virtual form is not ‘freed’ from matter as if it were chopped or chiselled away, but is a productive principle in its own right.
Location: Beach, Zeedijk, near the Grand Hotel Bellevue and the Ocate van Rysselbergheplein, 8434 Westende-Bad

Above all, the sculpture is intended to represent splashing waves, which, with their natural dynamics of seawater and constant force, crash against the breakwater.
