Glass helmets
"I look around like a kid in a candy store and pick away at everything."
Hans van Bentem (1965, NL) creates small to large monumental works and his preference even extends to installation art. Baroque creations often arise in a mix of contemporary forms from mass culture with images from the past. Partly because of his attention to traditional craftsmanship, his work takes on a hybrid look. The allure of the work is due in part to the fact that the various materials with which his objects are made have been processed with great care in the best workshops all over the world.
