About the artist - Hans Sassen

Hans Sassen (born 1939 in Maastricht) distinguishes himself as a sculptor with a figurative and powerful visual language. In his oeuvre, the human body and animals such as bulls and giraffes repeatedly play a role, with the animals often representing vitality and sculptural expression.

Characteristics of his work

His sculptures are figurative, with clear shapes that are instantly recognisable. It is striking, for example, that he depicts both human figures and animals.
He works mainly in bronze and alabaster, materials that allow him to fully express the formal power and material presence he seeks.

Public works & locations

“Charlotte” is located at Westgaarde in Amsterdam; the model posed for six months. It was originally made in aluminium cement and later cast in bronze.

“Reclining Bull”, one of his animal sculptures, is located in Schijndel.
