About the Item
The Other Side I is a wood sculpture (yew) by Wouter van der Vlugt, dimensions are 36 × 30 × 30 cm (14.2 × 11.8 × 11.8 in).
It is a unique signed piece and it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
This sculpture, created from wood, reflects the artist’s deep appreciation for the material’s natural qualities — its texture, scent, and tactile appeal. Wouter van der Vlugt exclusively uses local woods, selected for their size, which he views as the foundation of their sculptural potential. With respect for this living material, he balances his creative vision with the wood’s natural imperfections, shapes, knots, and charred elements, allowing them to guide his process.
Wouter van der Vlugt’s work explores the interplay of form, light, and material, blending organic shapes inspired by nature with geometric, architectural structures. By carving deeply into the wood, he transforms solid, imposing forms into airy, dynamic pieces that convey movement and vitality.
Born in 1970, the Dutch artist lives and works in Luxembourg. Since the 2000s, he has showcased his work at galleries, fairs, and biennales across Europe, including the prestigious Révélations biennale at the Grand Palais (Paris, 2017 and 2019) and the Homo Faber exhibition at the Giorgio Cini Foundation (Venice, 2022).

Wouter van der Vlugt’s sculptures explore the relationship between form, light and material through an interplay of solids and voids that give them a sense of movement. In his work, the elegant, organic forms of nature coexist with more geometric, almost architectural structures. The sculptor’s work has been selected by leading events dedicated to excellence in craft and artistic creation: in 2017 and 2019 by Révélations, the international biennial of crafts and creation at the Grand Palais (Paris, France) and in 2022 for the Homo Faber exhibition at the Giorgio Cini Foundation (Venice, Italy). “I work a lot with emptiness, with the transparency of the pieces. I want to transform a solid block into something light, where light and shade can play, and where wood becomes movement.”

Senza Misura - smooth, polished, abstract, contemporary, mahogany sculpture
By David Chamberlain
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This modern indoor sculpture by David Chamberlain was inspired by music and is made out of mahogany wood.
The graceful curves of this contemporary solid mahogany sculpture by David Chamberlain appear in one illuminating perspective to emulate the image of a heart. Hand carved from one piece of this rare wood; the abstract form’s surface is such that the insides become the outsides creating a continuous, enigmatic, integrated form. The naturally rich grain is highly finished with a soft lustre that accentuates the form. Chamberlain’s sculptures...
