Nicolette Eenhorst - 'The silent march'

Nicolette Eenhorts Utrecht Sculptor – 1948 - 2012
Took sculpture lessons at the Diemen University of Applied Sciences and at the Gooische Academie in Laren: “Because as she said, as a sculptor you never stop learning”. People and animals were her main sources of inspiration. The interplay of lines is the most important in her work. In her bronzes she had a great eye for detail and her work, depending on the material she works with, is often distinctly realistic. She considers the purchase by the municipality of Enschede of her sculpture 'The silent march', in memory of the victims of the fireworks disaster, as an important event in her existence as a sculptor. This current sculpture was her first design as a precursor to the final sculpture that was purchased by the municipality of Enschede. (see also her own description (partly derived from it) during one of her exhibitions http://www.galeriepolhus.nl/expositie/van-moederdag-tot-vaderdag at the time in 2009).
