DION HORSTMANS

COMMUNITY UPDATE

Dion Horstmans was more than an artist—he was a father, a friend, a partner, a mentor, and a creative force whose energy and spirit were truly one of a kind. His passion for life, art, and the people around him left an indelible mark on the Australian creative community, and his loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.
 
We have lost a dear friend, a beloved father, and an irreplaceable artistic soul. Dion’s presence was larger than life, and while he is no longer with us, his influence and impact will never fade.
 

Forthcoming information about the memorial service will be posted on Social Media and on this website.

 

So many of you have reached out, asking how you can help, and we are incredibly humbled by the love and generosity being shared. To honour him, we have established The Dion Horstmans GOFUNDME  to provide essential support for the people who meant the most to him—his daughters. 

All donations, no matter the size, will go directly to his family to help them through this difficult time. Your kindness will not only support his daughters but also ensure that Dion’s legacy continues to inspire future generations.

A MUST WATCH INSIGHT INTO DION

WORK OF ART

A FILM BY TOBY PIKE

DION

In Dion Horstmans’ sculptures, everyday lines and angles are transformed into dynamic, unpredictable and ever-changing forms.

A love of the intricacies of nature, the subtle fluidity of machines and a sharp eye for the interplay of light have made an enormous impact on the Bondi-based artist’s creative direction. 

Horstmans’ aesthetic is driven by line, balance and light; his metal sculptures focus on the shadows generated by forms. His use of line is deliberate, and his dynamic and deceptively minimal pieces change through time, stretching out their shadows through the course of a day.

To live with a Horstmans sculpture is to enjoy a living line, holding a brilliant and unpredictable conversation with itself.

“I like the energy of line because it is directional and dynamic. That’s a living language that I understand without formal training. I like the speed of straight lines and I intrinsically understand volume, balance and weight”
