Sculptures in Metal and Mixed Media
Ruben Koerhuis: A story in metal
After years of exploring and experimenting with a variety of materials and mediums, the journey in creative expression ultimately led to creating objects with metal. It provided endless possibilities in balancing art, design, craft and continuity within a theme, based on personal growth and self-reflection in mind and spirit, making each work a intimate personal story.

The Sculptures - Source of More
This series follows upon “Spheres’ in which the ball is evolved. It has the same foundation, but the stories are now told with different forms and the materials used, like slate, lede and wood, play a much more significant role. Whenever possible, total control is replaced by a steered coincidence.
