Bendt Eyckermans comes from a long tradition of Flemish artists in his family. Currently, Eyckermans  practices at the studio in Belgium which his grandfather and father also used to create their art.  Inspired by the Flemish art historical tradition, the sculptural practices of his father and grandfather,  and by the subculture of his own generation Eyckermans works are tethered both to tradition and  modernity. His family history of artists piqued First’s interest, and after seeing a video of the incredible  studio where Eyckerman works and hearing his background, First knew he wanted to have him come  to The Cabin LA. In this work, Sorry we are closed, a mysterious and frustrated figure stands statuesque and static ⎯ with their feet planted one in front of another with one hand outstretched and  one clenched. Eyckermans is represented by Andrew Kreps Gallery, Carlos/Ishikawa, and Gallery  Sofie Van de Veld.
