various studios

Lucien den Arend has been working in various studio's. His first large plaster model was made on the courtyard of his house in Zwijndrecht, Holland. Sheets of plastic kept out the winter showers.

Around 1970 he moved into a former blacksmith's shop in the oldest part of the same town. During these years he worked on plans for a new studio on the adjoining parcel of land. In 1982 it was finished and he joined it to his blacksmiths workshop studio.

During the nineties he and his family spent the summers on their island in Lapland. There he built his island studio in 2002.

In 2003 he and his family moved to Finland - into an old manor with various buildings on the grounds. The stables are now being turned into his present studio.

During the spring of 2006 all of his large sculptures, which are still in his possession, were returned to him from their ten year loan to the town of Kajaani, Finland. They now form part of his private Penttilä Open Air Museum, POAM. sculpture park.
