About
Jelle de Graaf
Jelle de Graaf once started with empty shampoo bottles as a scrap art artist. Within 10 years, his name and fame in the festival scene grew and he designs gigantic decors, stages, and autonomous sculptures for exhibitions, manifestations, and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad. His signature style - robots, structures or characters out of used materials with a rough edge - gives an immediate 'wow factor'. Yet his creatures maintain their sympathetic appearance.
