About the artist
Louk van Meurs (b. 1939, Netherlands) is a Dutch sculptor celebrated for his monumental and architectural interpretation of the human body. Educated at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, Van Meurs developed a distinctive sculptural language in welded steel, marked by bold geometric structures and anthropomorphic resonance. His works, including “Starke Jâan”, reflect the post-war European exploration of industrial materials as vehicles for strength, endurance, and artistic expression. This piece has an attribution mark,
