Reinier Lucassen developed a painting style from 1960 that combines elements from pop art with abstract symbols. He is often mentioned as a Dutch exponent of the 'New Figuration' painting movement. He combined elements from pop art, such as cartoon characters, with large brightly colored surfaces and expressive elements. Since 1980 he has been making smaller, more subdued work that is sometimes reminiscent of paintings by aborigines; powerful characters made up of simple points. The assemblages he makes are made from everyday materials such as wood, tin or rubber that seem to take on a new meaning through their combination.
