Fons Schobbers – Abstract Sculptures with a Poetic Soul at Art Gallery Pot

Fons Schobbers (born in 1947 in Venlo) is a Dutch sculptor and visual artist, renowned for his abstract sculptures that embody a unique blend of movement, poetry, and humor. His work explores the boundaries between art and space, creating a dynamic interaction between his sculptures and their surroundings.

After studying at the Academy for Industrial Design in Eindhoven (1966-1971), Schobbers settled in the former Mariadal Monastery in Venlo, transforming it into his studio and living space. Here, he experiments with various materials such as steel, wood, and stone, shaping sculptures that are not only visually striking but also carry a deep emotional resonance.

Tango – An Iconic Work by Fons Schobbers

One of his most iconic works, "Tango", a 10-meter-high red steel sculpture along the Maasboulevard in Venlo, symbolizes the interplay of attraction and repulsion—a movement reminiscent of the Argentine dance from which the work takes its name. This impressive sculpture reflects the core of his artistic vision: art that takes the viewer on a rhythmic and harmonious journey.

Schobbers has exhibited his work at prestigious venues, including the Berlage Art Fair in Amsterdam, Art Fair Paris, TEFAF Maastricht, and the Singer Museum in Laren. His sculptures have found their way into art collections, museums, and private interiors, where they continue to intrigue and inspire.
