Hans Van de Bovenkamp
"Androgynous Nano" small bronze sculpture

2015

About the Item

Hans Van de Bovenkamp's abstract-figurative sculpture "Androgynous Nano" is a subtly feminine piece with a sensuous balance of rounded and angular forms. This small, elegant bronze is hand-fabricated, not cast. A larger version, suitable for outdoor installation, is also available. Contact the gallery for more information. Van de Bovenkamp's work is inspired by myths, the collective consciousness, and subliminal learning. “I like dreams, myths and mythology," says the sculptor, who has been influenced by the work of Joseph Campbell, the cultural anthropologist. "A lot of my work is derived from ceremonial religious art." Van de Bovenkamp was born and raised in The Netherlands, where he studied architecture. Within ten years of moving to the US and graduating from The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, he began showing his sculpture in New York, Houston, and several other states, and he quickly received recognition for his large-scale abstract works in bronze, stainless steel, painted steel, or aluminum. He received large commissions for corporate, private, and public collections as early as 1964, the year he received the Emily Lowe Memorial Award, and was featured in ten museum, embassy, and sculpture center shows. Today, Van de Bovenkamp’s sculpture is widely displayed in galleries throughout Europe and the US. A recently published, 160-page book spanning the artist’s 40-year career is available from Hudson Hills Press.
