Egbert Bos

Since 1994 Egbert J. Bos creates mostly figurative statues of solid iron. With this method he is able to express his ideas in the best way. The quality of the expression and communication is important to him.
Egbert J. Bos underlines the fact that his statues aren’t being casted. Bos’ way of working: creating statues out of plate steel by means of using an oxy-acetylene torch, welding and grinding etcetera, brings some form- and technical problems.
lt is hard to make details in the solid iron of a small statue. Big formats requires to make all parts seperately, because the material is warping.
