Michael Jacklin

Michael Jacklin (1956, The Netherlands) is one of the rare fundamental working sculptors of his generation. He focuses on the specific qualities of the material as well as on the sculptural principles such as mass, rhythm and gravity. Since 1984 he works exclusively with iron. His preference for this material derives from his fascination for iron constructions in architecture. He is known for his series of man-sized grid sculptures and transparent wall objects of thin staff iron.
