Hobsons Bay Art Society Activity Night

For Hobsons Bay Arts Society’s first ‘Activity Night’ for 2023, come along to the Louis Joel Arts & Community Centre and hear from Jos van Hulsen, the artist who constructed the large sculpture outside Louis Joel Arts & Community Centre, and learn more about his industrial sculptures and artworks created with found materials.

For more information, or to register your attendance, please email: hbas@y7mail.com

Jos is an artist, sculptor and furniture maker from West Footscray who scours his environment for the found objects he conjures into works of art. Jos is one of the partners in Post Industrial Design and is the principal Artist/designer for the store. Jos's breadth of works ranges from large sculptural works along Eastlink to small sculptural works for the home. He also is a furniture maker, tinkerer and mad inventor. In both his Art and Design work Jos is inspired by industrial objects.

“Past cultures have been remembered for what they preserved, this century will be remembered for what it throws away. My work is concerned with transforming discarded materials into something new. My interest lies in combining histories, materials from different contexts, times and places.”

Jos and his partner also have a gallery in Footscray, where their Christmas window displays attract crowds annually.
