  • About the artist

    Van Leeuwen attended the foundation year at the art academy in Utrecht and was further educated at the Royal Academy of Art and Design (1981-1986) in 's-Hertogenbosch. He lived and worked in Breda, Amersfoort and Driebergen (from 2014).

    Since 2002, Van Leeuwen has mainly worked with cardboard, making sculptures, furniture and corridor systems from strips of cardboard, which were sometimes cast in bronze or executed in ceramics. He also used Van Leeuwen's technique, in which he kept adding elements, for the metal Oude Eem walkway that was placed in Amersfoort in 2011, in memory of the former Eembedding that was rediscovered a few years earlier.

    Plants and animals are a recurring theme in his work. Van Leeuwen has exhibited at Museum Flehite in Amersfoort, CODA, Apeldoorn and the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, among others. In 2013 he won the Boellaard Prize.
