Size ratio in the world of Architecture and the Arts – Lecture by Auke de Vries about (his) art in public space

About this activity.

At the beginning of this month, one of Auke de Vries' works was relocated to a new place on the island 'Het Nonnengat' in the Hoornsemeer. The artwork was temporarily removed and restored due to the redevelopment of the area.

In that context, Auke de Vries comes to Groningen and gives a lecture on Wednesday evening 18 May about his work and art in public space.

About Auke de Vries
Auke de Vries (1937) has been working as a painter, draftsman and etcher since the early 1950s. He has been making metal sculptures since the 1970s. His sculptures are light, abstract constructions made up of geometric shapes that seem to float: lines, cones, cubes, cylinders and surfaces. He allows his images to match the architecture on the spot. De Vries has received several awards for his extensive oeuvre.

From 1972 to 1986 he was a teacher at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague and from 1986 to 1996 at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. De Vries lives and works in The Hague.
