Ad Van Hassel

Ad van Hassel was born on April 26, 1953 in Roosendaal (The Netherlands). Ad began painting in 1980 after years of completing various creative disciplines. In 1983 he founded two exclusive galleries in the Sonesta and Krasnapolsky hotels in Amsterdam. Ad has been specialized in screen printing since 1990, not only for himself but also for other artists. He was Herman Brood's regular printer for over 12 years. Also other artists like Corneille, Jan Cremer and Rob Scholte worked with him and respected his craftsmanship. After the death of Herman Brood and Corneille, Ad decided to concentrate on a new technique: CNC laser cutting and milling of various materials from which his crazy color Sculptures, Banknotes and Pop Art Candies are made. Ad's art is particularly on high demand and his unique items are sold worldwide by galleries, finding their way to companies and individuals.
