About the Item
After studying Fine Art in the Netherlands Ans Zondag (1959) spent several years abroad in order to explore different artistic areas and to establish which technique suited her best. During this exploratory phase, her work included performances, installations and conceptual art. Afterwards, she initially focussed on graphic art and her woodcuts, linocuts and etchings were included in several expositions.
Ans abandoned graphic art and since 1990, she has completely focussed on sculpture.
Since 1991, when Ans travelled to Spain in order to study her passion, the Andalusian horse, she spends a significant amount of the year in Andalusia. Surrounded by orchards with oranges and limes, Ans lives on her Andalusian farm amidst sheep, horses, donkeys, birds, dogs and many other animals.
Animals are part of her existence, closely tied to her daily routine. On the farm in Spain, far away from the daily bustle of the city, she is able to be constantly in touch with animals and nature. The surroundings she lives and works in are closely connected to her art and her love for her subjects is very tangible in her bronzes. A strong bull, a new-born calf or a graceful horse, she knows how to capture the animals in their purest form.
Ans continues to push the technical boundaries of what is seemingly impossible in her freestanding sculptures. The mastery of mobility that Ans has acquired, lifts her work to an even higher level and the fact that her sculptures are often freestanding does not detract from the stability. However, Ans will always continue to explore the boundaries of what is possible with the material bronze.
Grace is an important element in Ans' images. The origin of the importance of gracefulness can possibly be found in the dancing Andalusian horses. Early in her career, Ans became fascinated by the beauty and elegance of these animals. In small riding schools, the picadors, she could observe the horses during training and sculpt small works on the spot. This special interaction leads to a dynamic between the animals and her sculptures that results in horses in the most charming poses.
The characteristic patina on Ans’s bronzes was developed by the artist herself and adds to the appearance of the works.
