Sebastiaan Ariën (Bas) Galis
From 1907 to 1919, Galis was trained in gold and silversmithing design at the Académie Minerva. Afterwards, he took classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
Around 1921, he established himself as an independent artist in Groningen. Galis was active as a sculptor, painter, and medallist. He received sculpture lessons from Jan Wiegers and applied for membership in De Ploeg in 1925. This was refused. After the Second World War, he joined De Onafhankelijken, of which he was a member until 1960.
In addition to portraits in stone or bronze, Galis created a number of resistance monuments. As a painter, he initially worked figuratively, but his work gradually became more abstract. His love for Cubism is evident in a series of pastels from the 1940s and 1950s inspired by the works of Picasso.
