Tom Claassen

Sculptor Tom Claassen (1968) searches for the essence of form in his sculptures. By showing the archetypal characteristics of people, animals and objects, he provides just enough tools to be able to recognize the representation. Their often large formats ensure that you cannot miss them as a viewer. They often have round, soft shapes and are often made of hard materials such as bronze, wood, aluminium, plastic and concrete. In addition to being humorous, the images are often endearing, clumsy and sometimes tragic. Tom Claassen shows his latest work in the Grote Zaal of the museum.
