Theodor Schokker Dutch, b. 1933
Schokker (born 1933, Amsterdam) is a sculptor whose abstract works are guided not by form but by subtle, often barely perceptible events in nature. He describes his practice as Physioplastic — art rooted in observation.
Born and raised in Amsterdam, Schokker continues to work from his studio in the Jordaan.
Beyond his artistic practice, Schokker has been an outspoken advocate for better social provisions and affordable studio spaces for artists. In the 1970s and 1980s, he organized occupations of the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, together with fellow artists and supporters, to underline these demands.
