Jan Keijsers

Dutch sculptor Jan Keijsers (1953-2019) had a passion for marble. "If it grabs you, it won't let go." This exhibition in Aigües pays homage to his work in marble, shows his sculptures and of ten artist friends. The result is an interesting exhibition with sculptures in all kinds of styles and materials such as marble, wood, ceramics, mixed media, bronze, soapstone and steel.
 
Fascination for marble

Jan worked mainly on local marble such as ‘Rojo de Alicante’ and ‘Crema Marfil’. "I have a very intimate workprocess with marble." In workshops he taught others how to sculpt marble better. And Jan organized excursions to a marble quarry.
