Guido Geelen

Guido Jozef Marie Geelen (born 5 May 1961 in Thorn, Netherlands) is a Dutch sculptor, furniture designer and ceramist, who lives and works in Tilburg.

He creates images full of contradictions: order and chaos, severely and baroque, artisanal and industrial, simple and complex, art and kitsch.

Many of his sculptures are constructed from clay reproductions of all kinds of objects: car tires, urinals, computers, televisions or vacuum cleaners.

The tight confines of the wall contrast with the volatility caused by the play of light and shadow; the bizarre collections make the images exuberant and cheerful.

Several works by Geelen have been added to the collection of Museum De Pont in Tilburg.
