Male of Folon returned to Knokke-Heist

The iconic work of art, which has been defying ebb and flow and wind and weather for more than twenty years, has been given a thorough refurbishment. Due to the regular beach spraying after heavy storms, he was also buried under the sand.

“The sea, that great sculptor” because that’s what artist Folon calls his bronze figure, which is placed slightly more seaward. For example, the effect of the artwork is greater at high tide. It then seems as if the man is standing in the middle of the sea.
