Lon Pennock
Leonardus Petrus Paulus (Lon) Pennock (born The Hague, 22 May 1945) is a Dutch sculptor, environmental artist, monumental artist and photographer.[1]
Life and work
Pennock studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague from 1962 to 1967. He then continued his studies with a French scholarship to the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris until 1968.
In 1969 he received both the Buys van Hulten price as the Jacob Maris incentive price. Twice he was awarded a scholarship by the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work in 1973 and in 1979. Pennock was trained as a traditional sculptor, but quickly turned into an abstract, even minimalist artist. Pennock lives and works in The Hague. In 1983-84 together with Kees Verschuren he developed a structure plan for art in a recreation area in the town of Spaarnwoude.[2]
Pennock has been director of the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam from 1979 to 1990.[3] The 1984 sculpture in Rotterdam, working title The River (see image), was placed at the West Blaak not far from the front of the academy building.
