Historical Context:
Cyril Lixenberg was born in London in 1932 and currently lives and works in Amsterdam where he is an active member of the contemporary art community. Lixenberg is recognized for his monumental steel sculptures, some of which are present on the university campus and in Grand Rapids public venues. Additionally, the artist is a prolific printmaker and uses silk screen techniques to create images that are visually congruent with his large-scale steel work.
