Sjaak Korsten (b. 1957)

Sjaak Korsten is widely known and respected as an artist in his native The Netherlands, where he lives in the small town of Helden. He works in established post-World War II European modern and contemporary traditions, especially that of Art Informel, a more subdued European cousin of Abstract Expressionism. In addition to mixed media works on paper, Korsten creates paintings, sculptures and installations. He is represented by major Dutch galleries, and his work is in museum, corporate and private collections, including that of Dutch Queen Beatrix. His work has been shown at major European fairs, including TEFAF Maastricht, PAN Amsterdam and the Cologne Art Fair.
