Ton Zwerver



Ton Zwerver (born 1951) is a Dutch photographer, graphic artist and sculptor. His collages are immense and composed of seemingly infinite objects creating a mysterious puzzle for the viewer. His sculptures are rather whimsical and hold a lot of tension with stacking and display. What caught my attention most were his every day sculptures or Sculptures For The Moment. He followed up this work with a blog that is both creative, cerebral and inspiring. The description of the blog states “Everyday sculptures is a way of working. As sudden encounters, these sculptures only exist for a moment as they are photographed and changed again. Everyday one or more sculptures are made out of materials that come across my path. These encounters threat into stories with an unknown scenario.” I appreciate the zen like quality that he combines with sculpture and found art.
