Groeibeginsel / Life Reborn, Chris Elffers (1962)

This bronze sculpture was dubbed the ‘Blue Dragon’. From the top of a dark, rounded, bluish body with leg- and arm-like protrusions, a head seems to emerge. The theme of the two-part sculpture by Chris Elffers (1926- ) is change (in agriculture), which creates new life. Until 1995, this sculpture stood on the grounds of the ITAL research institute on Keijenbergseweg, between Bennekom and Renkum, before being moved to the Radix building.
