Hex
Through my Hands I See
For Hex (b. 1964), found steel objects are often the basic material for his abstract sculptures. With the help of welding equipment, angle grinder, hammer and polishing machine, he creates beautifully shaped and extremely impressive works of art – sometimes small and sometimes monumental. Today, works by him can be found in collections but also in public places worldwide. This book gives an overview of his works of the last 10 years.

description
Hex saw himself as a sculptor at a young age and sold his first sculpture when he was only 25. Successful exhibitions and scholarships followed, taking Hex to work in Italy, England, Namibia, the USA and Canada, among other places. He was admitted to the prestigious Royal Society of Sculptors and, in addition to steel, found other materials such as marble and bronze. With large-format illustrations, the publication introduces the versatile oeuvre of the award-winning artist.
