Sculptor/painter Nic Jonk (1928-1994) is known for his plastic sculptures with curves, which are cast in bronze. Nic Jonk loved the female model and was inspired in his images by predecessors such as Maillol, Renoir and Bourdelle. His work shows respect for life and possesses an unprecedented primal power. The precision and eye for details and nuances ensure that Nic Jonk's images are wonderfully executed. The recognizability comes from the form, born from primal elements of life; the water, the earth, the sun, the woman, the whale. In the sculpture garden in Grootschermer there are colossal sculptures, from which the joy of life splashes carefree. The sunlight casts beautiful patterns of light and shadow on the polished bronze skin.
