Lon Pennock sculptures, mostly from steel or bronze, act in spite of their static nature, as if they could move at any moment. The precision of the arrangement together with the geometric playfulness leave the viewer room for interpretation. Pennock's main theme is the language of the material. So because of their subtle development, it seems as if his impressive sculptures come out of nothing.
Represented in private and public collections in the Netherlands, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Slovenia.
Numerous sculptures in public spaces in the Netherlands and in France.
