Ricks Terstappen

Born: Limburg, Netherlands

Based: Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay

 

Ricks Terstappen makes his unique sculptural creations using metals, wood and found materials. He works prolifically and his style will be familiar to many, as he has often undertaken public commissions and he exhibits frequently here in Hawke’s Bay and throughout the country.

 

Ricks often collaborates with other artists on large-scale works such as the Performance Platform in Hastings’ inner city and the Wetland Neighbourhood Playground at Barry Curtis Park in Manukau City.

 

A recognised senior Hawke’s Bay artist, Ricks was one of three co-curators of the first Wildflower Sculpture Exhibition in 2008.
