Nic Jonk

Nic Jonk (1928-1994) made sculptures recognizable by their ‘pettable’ round forms. They can be seen throughout The Netherlands, but also in North-America, Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany and France. He also made paintings, graphic works, ceramics, glass objects and jewelry. Nic Jonk had a predilection for a number of biblical and mythological themes, which he returned to time and again in an attempt to improve their rendition. He revisited the theme of Jonah eight times. His sculptures can be viewed in the museum and sculpture garden he set up in Grootschermer (north of Amsterdam), The Netherlands, see www.beeldentuinnicjonk.nl
