Harry Storms (11 August 1945 to 28 March 2023).
Life and work
Harry Storms was a Dutch sculptor and graphic artist. Storms was educated at the pedagogical academy. Initially he was a teacher of handicrafts. He also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where he was taught by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz.
In 1975 he made his debut as a visual artist with an exhibition of his bronze sculptures in Sittard. Exhibitions at home and abroad followed. He also started a gallery and a sculpture garden, the Procure, in Sterksel. He worked mainly in bronze, with ballerinas and horses as recurring themes in his work. His horses are not static animals, but seem to be in constant motion. Less well-known are his free works.
