Tomas Schats

Tomas Schats (Rotterdam) makes clear sculptures from which everything superfluous has been omitted.
 The narratives he tells are layered and occasionally take unexpected turns.
Tomas Schats says himself:

'In their minimal linearity, these works resemble cartoons but they are, in their simplicity, more lyrical and more ambiguous, wry, but nevertheless light-footed. They are based on reality, but transcend it in a subtle manner. They tell stories about humankind, with all its possibilities and limitations.
