Very good draughtsman, living in Belgium but Dutchman who grew up in North Limburg and received his training in Maastricht. The old hilly landscape in which he grew up marked his childhood and he drew the landscape in a mix of past and present that is as wonderful as it is self-evident. Indigenous art of the Low Countries. The first time you see his work, you immediately know that you have never seen it before. After that, you won't forget it either. Mysterious, rich and meagre at the same time. Archetypes. Primal art. Hans Lemmen excels in a wide range of fields: landscape art, sculptures in bronze, ceramics, conceptual. Impressive.
