Frans Muhren - Sculptures of various materials
Trained as a sculptor at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in the 1970s.
After his education, he began developing his own style, ranging from abstract-organic to abstract-geometric, and everything in between.
External influences on his work are undeniable, such as those from architecture, painting, and certain movements in art history like Futurism and Cubism. In the 1980s, he began painting more; at first, he created only paintings, and later, he started painting his sculptures.
Contrasts play an important role in his work. He works with various materials, such as wood, iron, styrofoam, plastic, acrylic, and oil paints, sometimes with volume and mass, and other times with lines that move or suggest movement.
