Frukost i det gröna, 2019
Claes Hake sculptor, and draftsman, is well known for his large-scale sculptures in stone. His monumental arcs, arches and gates can be seen in public spaces both in Sweden and abroad. His work can be divided into three periods corresponding to three different materials: plastic, bronze, and stone. Since the 1980s his focus has been stone: diabase and granite from Bohuslän, Sweden. His large sculptures in stone are powerful, raw, and precise expressing stillness, timelessness and calls to mind ancient sacred sites. Hakes paintings and drawings on the other hand, are direct, almost restless, executed with great sensibility.
