ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my work, I do not teach, rather trigger a few questions. We mostly go through life in an automatic-pilot state of mind. I would love to have my artwork given a few thoughts someone may pick up. And with that, inspire the passer-by for a moment to think outside the box of our day-to-day routine mindset. My work can be representational, can be abstract. But I always hope to trigger the fantasy of the viewer. I was born in the Netherlands. I moved to Cologne, Germany in 2001 and I moved again in 2004 to Brooklyn, NY. Now I am in Co. Donegal, Ireland. So, I wandered through the world a bit. It just happened. Although I settled down everywhere I was, I still remained a bit of a stranger. Various things in everyday life can be strange to me. Even when I am back in Holland, I notice I sometimes think: hmm, that’s weird, “we” don’t do it like that. This is the eye of the wonderer. From a wandered, I became a wonderer and look around. The wonderer is what my work is about.

Hans van Meeuwen's body of work includes sculptures, drawings, and five public installations in Europe and the US. He was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and now lives and he recently moved to Co. Donegal Ireland In 2019 he was awarded a Pollack-Krasner Foundation grant and an Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant. More recently, he was a finalist in the Wingless Dreamer 2020 Best illustrator Award Contest. Hans' most recent public art installation was completed in 2019 as part of the expansion of the light rail system in Phoenix AZ. His earlier four installations were in his home country of the Netherlands (photos available on his website, ). A collector of his work recently expressed, "Hans’ art always makes me laugh because there is always some kind of disproportion and an improbability that seeds my imagination." Although there is certainly humor and whimsicality in Hans' work, there is also pathos, and mystery. His work comes from deep inside him, and is designed to elicit thought and emotion from deep inside those who see and engage with his work.
