Jaap Deelder
Eagle Owl - 21st Century Sculpture of an Owl made of oak

2012

About the Item

This owl is made from oak. The peace and power that both emanate from this monumental eagle owl is probably hidden in the actual format (lifelike) and the deep-set eye sockets. Beautiful and lifelike. Jaap Deelder has exhibited at the Bonnard gallery before. Art lovers, but also "bird watchers" were struck by their eyes. Deelder is also greatly admired by his colleagues. Several of them made the gallery owners aware of the artist's special work two years ago. Now the sculptor is exhibiting at Bonnard for the second time, with new work, together with the three aforementioned draftsman / painters who also greatly admire his sculptures and all have his own work. Deelder makes sculptures in wood and stone, with birds at the center. He wants his images to speak for themselves as much as possible and strives for ornithological correctness. ,,It has to be right; sizes, proportions and proportions must be correct. "" Deelder uses different types of stone and many types of wood. Leaving out details and a certain degree of stylization can play an important role for technical or artistic reasons, but he believes that they should not harm the natural form. , "A bird is so beautiful, you don't have to add or change anything about it."   Wood and stone Jaap Deelder makes sculptures in wood and stone, in which birds play a central role.

  • 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...
