Pieter Obels Large Sculpture in Rusted Corten Steel

About the Item

Pieter Obels Large Sculpture in Rusted Corten Steel, The Netherlands. Beautiful and large sculpture in corten steel made by famous artist Pieter Obels. It is quintessentially Obels with the use of rounded dynamic shapes and the rusted corten steel. Great for use outdoors, but equally great indoors. About Pieter Obels 'In spite of the fact that steel is generally considered as rough and austere, Pieter Obels’ sculptures seem to be controverting the intrinsic possibilities of the material. When one looks at Richard Serra’s monumental steel slabs and wonder at the curves he manages to give his material, feelings of huge weight, size and strength arise.' 'Pieter Obels works with Corten steel, yet what his works convey above all is light and grace as he bends the steel into extraordinarily delicate and winding shapes. The two artistic worlds couldn’t be further apart. It is almost as if we were watching the yin and yang of the same material. Through a clever interplay of rigidity and dynamism, Obels work occupies a space deftly lingering between a sense of weight and weightlessness. His sculptures completely confound our perceptions of how a steel sculpture should look like and behave. The bends in the work appear to defy what the material can be persuaded to do.'
