Johannes Genemans, sculptor with Dutch origins, creates statuesque bodies that recall a certain classicism, of form and technical perfection. In his works, he strives for a visual, emotional impact, rather than for story telling.
His sculpting is a sanctification of beauty, of spontaneous and carnal nudity, as spokesperson of a purely Italian ideal with a stronger idealising, rather than representative intent.
As an artist with great method and technical knowledge, he offers art produced by a rational choice of the materials to be be sculpted, and of the clever play with matter. His sculptures are a poetic summary of classicism, with references to the best Italian sculptural tradition.
