Ek van Zanten Mother and child (1965)

This sculpture by sculptor Ek van Zanten has been relocated in 2016 in this redesigned park between the Achterweg and Kinheim. The artwork is a two-meter-high woman who holds a happy child up above her head. The title is Mother and child and the image is full of dynamism and zest for life. It is unknown exactly when the work was made and / or placed, but probably in the mid-XNUMXs in the context of the urban embellishment of Hoogvliet. An amount was made available to beautify the Hoogvliet district with visual art. Other examples that have been realized in this scheme are, for example Le Tamanoir from Alexander Calder and The infinite house from Gust Romijn. Behind Mother and child hangs the 9 meter high ceramic relief by Dick Elffers The primordial world of the animal compared to the synthetic world.
