Art and technology. We could just have the title of a new magazine there. But we are talking about the work of Joshua Penning, a designer in Corten language. And Corten steel is a stainless steel type that is protected with a brown oxide layer.
During a ride through the rain we saw his work displayed and attached a coffee stop to it. Joshua is an artist with skill, an eye for beauty and he is intrigued by 'the mechanics' behind the animals.
This results in images that are beautiful at first glance, and afterwards
often slightly alienating. And that component is then caused by Pennings providing animal figures with 'mechanical components'. And in such a way that the technically interested spectator thinks "Ah, that's how such an animal works". Or: "Nothing beats a conventionally suspension rear fork"
Art that appeals to both women and men, that can simply stand outside and becomes more beautiful due to weathering.
A great approach!
