Shiftngshadows Inspired by the natural form
Reaching, stretching, graceful, frozen movement..
...Trees that don’t bend with the wind won’t last the storm...

Harry Smulders (1956) studied at at the Design Academy in Eindhoven from 1975 to 1980. Works as a freelance designer. He visited many places and cultures; Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Italy, France, USA, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India, China and South-Africa. The impressions gained here are contributed to his inner world.
PhotographyCapturing contrasts between nature and manmade environment. Order and structure against natural harmony. The contrasts in everyday life with its nuances and ambiguties. From the graphic context, mostly 2-dimensional work, interest originated to investigate graphics into 3-dimensional studies, inspired by the harmony of the natural form. Straight lines and shapes placed in a natural setting.
Shape and motionA statue is a shape in space. Lines extend in various directions, causing contours to occur. The form invites you to walk arond it, to consider it from different angles. Contours change, the eye discovers new lines. Reflections of light and shifting shadows on the different surfaces gives the sculpture a changing look.
The process by which a statue is created is slow. In the design stage sketches and models are made in paper and cardboard. On a sketchy manner forms and proportions are investigated. If everything feels ‘right’ the sculpture can be executed in stainless steel.
Stainless steel as a material is neat and clean. A hard material, but perfect to visualize lines and ‘movement’. Light, shadows and reflections provides a continuous changing experience making it more and more intriguing.
