About Rob Schreefel

Rob Schreefel’s sculptures play with form and space, with perspective and movement. They look simple, almost self-evident, as if they were always there. But if you look closer, you will discover the precision, the well-considered proportions, the poetry in stone. Schreefel studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in the 1970s and found his language in sculpture. Inverse was seen at ARTZUID 2025. The granite sculpture consists of two elongated blocks of stone that together depict a reversal. A heavy boulder rests on one block, while the other is supported by a boulder, as if gravity has been challenged or turned upside down. The open space between the blocks creates a passage – a physical and symbolic opening through which the visitor can move. Size and mass are palpably present and make the work a spatial experience.
