Boonen -Steampunk Art Official Trailer 2014.
History:
In 1999 I started my cultural adventure with designing
and manufacture 3D inflatable objects used to decorate major national
and international events. In 2003 I founded theatre Vistazo because I
wanted to realize my ambition to become a (street) theatre producer. These
days Theatre Vistazo still travels through Europe with several shows.

more information please visit the website Theatre Vistazo
In 2006 I started my experimental journey as a metal artist under a pseudonym
“ Kunstperkilo” (freely translated: artperkilo.) In 2012 I changed my
pseudonym to “Steampunk art” because of the growing international interest
and because of my recurring and recognizable style which can be classified
as Steampunk. Whatch
my biography from 1999 untill 2009 on YouTube
Welcome to the world of Steampunk:
First of all let’s make clear that the word PUNK in SteamPUNK
has absolutely nothing to do with the anachronistic Punk culture.
Steampunk refers to a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy that incorporates
technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered
machinery.
Depending on which resource you reference, be it the Wikipedia entry or
Steampunk.com, you will find a variety of answers and interpretations
to this creative movement that has been growing in popularity, but also
capturing mainstream. It’s instantly recognisable, but difficult to explain.
Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an Victorian
or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. The term “Steampunk” originated
in the late 1980s from science fiction author K. W. Jeter who described
steampunk by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future
had happened sooner." For Example: Imagine that the computer had
been invented in 1800 and used steampower as an energy source. How would
that computer then have looked like? Well, that's steampunk.
Steampunk includes fiction with science, fairytale and fantasy themes.
It's all about mixing old and new: fusing the usability of modern technology
with the design aesthetic and philosophy of the Victorian age.
Welcome to the mysterious and breathtaking world of Steampunk.
Recycling waste of our industrial society is the inspiration of my artwork:
All sculptures are entirely hand made from recycled scrap
such as metal, copper, brass and steel. I create art with all kinds of
technology and techniques to soften the design despite the roughness and
robust properties of the material itself. Therefore I create art with
a respectful atmosphere and sometimes funny or even cynical view of reality.
Most of my sculptures are custom made but I also have plenty objects which
can be purchased immediately. Every sculpture is unique but on request
I can make a replica of previous work. The differences in those replicas
can be seen in unique details and therefore remain one-of-a-kind pieces.
My artwork knows no boundaries and all sculptures can be shipped worldwide.

Corten (Weathering steel) steel is very popular in gardens and is often
used for art in public spaces. The advantage of Corten steel is that it
doesn’t perishes but after a thin layer of rust the corrosion stops. Therefore,
you can endlessly enjoy these unique artworks.

How does it
work?
First I make a personal digital design in consultation
with the client. Once the design is approved it’s made from metal. All
artworks are 100% handmade. Below you can see some digital designs to
get an idea of some possibilities. Almost any design is possible as long
as it’s a vector ( a black and white image.) Should you be interested
in your own unique garden fence, screen or wall piece, please contact
me for more information regarding the possibilities and conditions.

Steampunk Sphere Lamp
Collection.
For creating these extraordinary lamps I use recycled expansion tanks
from heating systems. These tanks are made in various shapes. The tanks
that I use come originally from Germany. As far as I know this is the
only country where they use round expansion tanks. Since I 'm living and
working near the German border is relatively easy for me to find these
tanks on German scrap yards.
First I make the inside coating from polyester. Then the design is drawn
on the red tank. Eventually, the remaining parts are cut with a plasma
cutter (Hypertherm). For the perfection and finishing touch I design the
matching Steampunk base. These conversation pieces come in various sizes
and designs. Almost any design is possible as long it contains a vector
( a black and white image.)

Steampunk Variety Collection.
For these smaller Steampunk pieces, I use all kinds of recycled materials
such as copper, brass and steel. Hereby I search for special shapes and
combine these objects together. The challenges in making these pieces
are mainly combining the different metals. Ultimately, these practical
constraints always deliver an exceptional result. These pieces are not
only One Of a Kind Art Pieces but also utensils objects such as lamps
and clocks.

Steampunk
Alchemy Project.
With this project I wanted to create One Of A Kind Art with a true story
to tell. Therefore I like to call them Conversation Pieces. By the use
of LED light the specimens are put in a soft spotlight so all details
can be viewed properly. The carbon filament lamps are equipped with a
dimmer switch and can be set at any desired brightness. This way the pieces
each have their own mysterious aura. With a little imagination, these
Steampunk Incubator Machines will come to life.
The most common question regarding my Alchemy Project is how do I get
the specimens in my possession. The answer is that I work with two professional
taxidermists. It seems contradictory , but it's almost impossible for
me to explain with how much love for animals they do their job. I only
work with these two professional taxidermists but did you know that specimens
are simply offered on Ebay?
None of the animals are killed with the intention to preserve
them. The animals have either died by age or illness. In some cases, the
animals are euthanized by a veterinarian in order to avoid unnecessary
suffering. Both taxidermists have close connections with several veterinarians
and zoos. Once an interesting animal is deceased they are offered for
preparation.

SteamBugs.
In these Alchemy versions I use small insects and other small animals
such as larvae’s, insects and fetuses. The main differences between the
regular Alchemy pieces and these smaller versions is not oly the size
but also the absence the typical carbon filament lamps. I only use a small
LED light to place the creatures in a mysterious spotlight. Some pieces
of this serie are equipped with a adjustable magnifying glass to study
the little creatures properly.

Steampunk Street Art Collection.
I build these three Steampunk-isch Mobile Pieces in 2006 for an
interactive street theatre exhibition with a 40 minutes performance. This
has resulted in a visual spectacle with 12 actors, unique costumes and
these three impressive steel vehicles. All three vehicles are completely
dismountable and can be transported in a van or box truck. Once constructed,
the objects can be moved easily by single manpower. All three pieces feature
fire torches operating on propane. Two of these pieces are offered for
sale or rent. As dismountable pieces but also as static pieces for art
in public spaces.
