MusLukt

Leny Franken’s bronze birds play with the art of omission, so that every surface, every line is in function of the being. Even the title ‘MUSLUKT’ functions as a pars pro toto. Leny Franken always manages to balance the formal composition of a bird species, which is probably extinct. The birds are resigned to the fact that they are limited in their actions in their solidified bronze world and thus give the viewer an optimal chance to enjoy their characteristic essence. They are often placed on a handmade pedestal.
