汤姆·克拉森，艺术家

几乎每个人都在阿尔梅勒的 A6 高速公路上见过汤姆·克拉森的大象家族，或者在史基浦机场偶然发现他的两个巨大的坐着的人。克拉森的作品通常位于文化与自然的边界上，牢牢植根于雕塑传统，同时具有原创、俏皮和个人风格。荷兰艺术家汤姆·克拉森生于1964年， 25 年来一直活跃于国内和国际艺术领域。他主要以为公共场所创作的作品而闻名——不仅在艺术圈中，而且在广大公众中也是如此。他的作品也可以在阿姆斯特丹市立博物馆、奥特洛的 Kröller-Müller 博物馆、乌得勒支的中央博物馆、席凡宁根的 Beelden aan Zee 博物馆和美国圣路易斯的盖特威基金会的收藏中找到。

Almost everyone has seen Tom Classen’s family of elephants along the A6 motorway in Almere or has stumbled across his two enormous sitting men at Schiphol Airport. Claassen’s work is often positioned along the border between culture and nature and is firmly rooted in the sculpture tradition, while at the same time featuring an original, playful, and personal touch.Dutch artist Tom Claassen (1964) has been active in the arts both nationally and internationally for more than 25 years. He is primarily known for his pieces created for public venues – not only in the art circuit, but also by the public at large.
