Tips

Lemmi alias Schlumpf

July 22, 2019

According to the sculptor Rob Schreefel, a picture must have a poetic content and be readable in or out of the form of the picture. In this sculpture, Rob was inspired on the one hand by the mythology and on the other hand by the shape of the stones and the history of the place / the environment. The sculptor had already noticed the large capstone of the statue 10 years ago. This big stone was in the land of a Franco-Breton peasant. This stone, it was then said, would one day serve as a sculpture for the sculptor. While exploring the place in the Schapenpark in 1999 and thinking of a landscape temple for this special place, the sculptor immediately remembered this stone in Bretange. Together, this heavy erosion stone (13 tonnes) was released from French soil and transported by Ron's truck to Ron's workshop. There, the stone was incorporated into the capstone of the sculpture "Ode to the Sun". The picture now speaks with the picture in this beautiful, wide and quiet place in the sheep park in Odoorn.
