Jan Wils
Dancer- 21st Century Contemporary Brass Sculpture

2020

About the Item

Jan Wils is an artist born in the city of Eindhoven, in The Netherlands. He now still lives and works in Eindhoven. Jan Wils about his sculptures: “The objects I make are interactive and dynamic. Cheerful, with the colorfulness of paintings. ” In the vicinity of Eindhoven and far beyond in Holland and Belgium, you will encounter images in public spaces, recognizable from a great distance because of the design and the use of materials. The power of the images is determined by the shapes that differ from all sides, the material and certainly the format. For the exhibition "Scenic" Jan Wils made a series of images based on flat sheet material. Processing the flat sheet material in this way and connecting it to each other was particularly challenging and interesting for the artist. He often uses old mechanical connections for this. This resulted in beautiful contemporary images that appeal to the imagination, which are particularly attractive in terms of material (brass) and appearance.

  • Wild Horse - 21st Century Contemporary Bronze Sculpture of a Horse
    By Frans van Straaten
    Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
    Frans van Straaten Wilde Horse VII Bronze on bluestone pedestal H 65 cm W 65 cm D 35 cm Dutch artist Frans van Straaten (1963) should be called an artist of balance always searching for harmony between force and movement in combination with space. Because of the wide range in his art-education he has mastered the art of drawing, painting and sculpting technology. However, the classical plastic art of sculpture and modelling opens up the possibility for him to create his own language of sculpture in answer to his urge for art. Due to this style of sculpting, the preference for bronze is natural. After his study of sculpture at the Academy of Art in Rotterdam (1988), Frans van Straaten creates bronze sculptures in which he unites force and movement. Feeling and Emotion converted into Matter Sculpture is an experience of space combined with the challenge of the three-dimensional. The tension of space and movement are the themes, which Frans expresses in his sculptures. Summary it can be said that the power of life and being, the feeling and emotion by force and movement will be converted into matter. The experience of space is being expressed in the shapes and characters in each of Frans’ sculptures. His sculptures of bulls express explosive power while the horses find their strength in being elegant. Each sculpture recalls this way their own association and serves as a metaphor for a certain emotion. Feelings, which has inspired the artist for each sculpture. Powerful and Elegant Looking at the works of this artist, it becomes very clear that one of his most important sources is his background in art history. The Renaissance period as well as several Italian artists served as inspiration to Frans as a sculpture. For instance the expressions in Leonardo da Vinci’s artworks, and also Giovanni...
