Artist Statement:
Education:
Academy of fine Arts,Breda,the
Netherlands.
Vocational School for Gold and
Silversmiths,Schoonhoven,the
Netherlands.
Royal Academy of
Arts,Tilburg,the Netherlands.
In his work,Hans Grootswagers
translates the less obvious
into the indentifiable.
Abstractions from the world of
emotions are his primary
source of inspiration.Reality
and fiction are interwoven,to
subsequently merge in ways not
always readily perceivable.
Mass and
volume are allocated new
dimensions that consistently
present a tension,expressing
themselves thus into pieces of
imposing sculpture.
This preference for suggested
"spatiality and volumes" is
expressed not only in his
sculptures but also in
wearable mini sculptures made
of 18 ct. gold and sterling
silver.A solid technical
training at the vocational
school for Gold and
Silversmiths intertwined with
his arts
training in Tilburg and
Breda,are the basis that
formed the extraordinary
skills of Hans
Grootswagers....
