In his converted studio in the Waitākere Ranges, René Jansen creates sculptural works that play with shape, colour and light.
Originally from the Netherlands, René has been making contemporary sculpture for many years. He works mainly in aluminium, creating relief pieces influenced by Bauhaus and Japanese modernism. His recent luminous series brings vibrant colour to the surface, inviting us to look again at familiar forms.
Watch Conan Fitzpatrick’s studio video for a glimpse of René’s work and the space where he makes it.
