In the 1970s the classical technique of etching was highly applied on designs for decorative arts and furniture design, a trend that arose in Brussels. Key-designers were Aldo Chale, Georges Mathias, Willy Daro and Lova Creation and Jean Claude Dresse and Christian Krekels worked in this style too. Their style was characterized by the use of gemstones as decorative element and the use of golden brass as primary color.
Christian Krekels (1942-) is an expressive Belgian sculptor. Following his studies at the Institut des Arts Saint-Luc in Tournai, Krekels firstly focused his work on diamonds.
