Welcome and recognition point
The Arch of Lon Pennock gives a welcome and is a recognition point.
Compared with other artworks
The artwork by Jan de Baat (Amsterdam, see picture 1, more information) gives figurative association and has expressive power. Jan de Baat makes you join the happiness, proud and sense of community, which is feld after the liberation from the Nazi’s.
The artwork Loop-Shaped Object by Otto Heuvelink (Lusvormig Object, Amsterdam, picture 2, more information) is modest. This line is subtle. When the artwork would have been more established, it could refer to a flower.

Skygate by Roger Barr (San Francisco, picture 3, more information) is a honest artwork which shows it's imperfection and insecurity.
Pyramid by Josef Erben (Berlin, picture 4, more information) has a soft surface and makes a careful curve. In this artwork the cables give extra tension to the artwork.

Het geheel bestaat uit twee gigantische stalen poorten die op een afstand van honderd meter tegenover elkaar staan. Ze wekken de indruk ten opzichte van elkaar te verschuiven of liever: open en dicht te gaan. De dynamiek wordt veroorzaakt door de diagonale opbouw. Het verkeer dat onder de poorten doorraast, benadrukt die beweging.

Bij het kruispunt Meerkerkdreef – Holendrechtdreef staan twee gigantische stalen poorten die zich op een afstand van honderd meter tegenover elkaar bevinden. Dit kunstwerk van beeldend kunstenaar Lon Pennock heeft de titel ‘The Arch’. Als je door de poorten rijdt, lijkt het of ze ten opzichte van elkaar te verschuiven.

It consists of two giant steel gates that face each other at a distance of one hundred metres. They give the impression to shift relative to each other or prefer to go: open and close. The dynamics is caused by the diagonal construction. The traffic under the gates doorraast, emphasizes that movement.

At the crossroad Holendrechtdreef are two giant steel Gates drove Meerkerk – which is at a distance of one hundred feet across from each other. This work of art by Visual artist Lon Pennock has the title ' The Arch '. If you drive through the gates, it seems to shift them relative to each other.

His small sculptures and collages from the middle of the nineties in particular, are witness to the great virtuosity and freedom that Pennock has made his own. Pennock no longer needs to master the world with his monumental symbols. He paraphrases andcomments on sculptural art by also casting his assemblages in bronze. He commands the language of the material and, with practically nothing, knows how to pass subtle comment on the nature of things.

Leonardus Petrus Paulus "Lon" Pennock (22 May 1945, The Hague, – 9 March 2020, The Hague) was a Dutch sculptor, environmental artist, monumental artist and photographer.
Pennock studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague from 1962 to 1967. He then continued his studies with a French scholarship to the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris until 1968.
In 1969 he received both the Buys van Hulten price as the Jacob Maris incentive price. Twice he was awarded a scholarship by the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work in 1973 and in 1979. Pennock was trained as a traditional sculptor, but quickly turned into an abstract, even minimalist artist. Pennock lived and worked in The Hague, where he was born. In 1983-84 together with Kees Verschuren he developed a structure plan for art in a recreation area in the town of Spaarnwoude.
Pennock was director of the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam from 1979 to 1990. The 1984 sculpture in Rotterdam, working title The River, was placed at the West Blaak not far from the front of the academy building.
