Jits Bakker Abstract Sculptures

Dutch, 1937-2014

Jits Bakker (1937–2014) was a Dutch visual artist deeply inspired by classical mythology and Renaissance ideals. Though best known internationally as a sculptor, his artistic talents spanned a wide range of disciplines including painting, drawing, watercolor, glass art, graphic techniques, and jewelry design. Bakker began his career as a painter rooted in Impressionism but later developed a bold Expressionist style influenced by Fauvism. He was passionate about plein air painting, capturing landscapes with emotional intensity and vibrant color. His diverse body of work reflects a deep connection to nature, personal experience, and classical themes. In 1962, he began working with glass mosaics, drawn to the interplay of color and light, and he remained active in this medium throughout his life. He also saw his jewelry as miniature sculptures and treated each piece with the same artistic integrity as his larger works. Bakker embodied the Renaissance principle of the "universal man," constantly exploring new creative fields and rejecting the idea of artistic specialization. His life’s work is a testament to versatility, craftsmanship, and timeless expression. He studied at ArtEZ in Arnhem and held numerous exhibitions across Europe and the U.S., with permanent installations and high-profile commissions, including for royalty and international institutions.

Catch me if you can!- 21st Century Dutch Bronze Sculpture of a Squirrel

By Frans van Straaten

Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant

This squirrel is made by Dutch Artist Frans van Straaten. Van Straaten 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 Bologna...
