Urban Frontiers Seminar: Fen de Villiers – The Sculptural City; Reimagining Urban Futures
Join us for an inspiring talk with Fen de Villiers, a Scottish sculptor whose monumental works breathe new life into urban spaces. Educated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, de Villiers’ art draws on the vitality of American Art Deco to reimagine the future of cities through sculpture.
His latest public art installation, The Sower, was commissioned by the Keene Development Group for Biltmore Walk, a luxury townhome community in Greenville, SC. In this seminar, de Villiers will discuss how his sculptural practice bridges art, architecture, and urban design — inviting us to see the city itself as a living, evolving work of art.
