About the Item

Van Nazareth is somewhat of a reclusive personality and his bronze sculptures focus on primordial, illusive shapes. His figures are remote and uncommunicative, suggesting timelessness and loneliness. Somewhat dehumanized, they remain universal reminders of the barbaric cruelty meted out by so-called civilised humanity. Van Nazareth has developed a sophisticated technique in finishing his bronze sculptures, creating apparently ‘unfinished’ surfaces, with a deceptive suggestion of clay or other mediums. He is not interested in creating aesthetically pleasing work, but rather wishes to challenge and create uncertainty for the viewer. He likes to exhibit his figures in open landscape settings, grouping them together, creating a deep sense of the savagery of mankind’s origins. This is an intriguing, evocative bronze sculpture from Herman van Nazareth's "Protest"- series, on a wooden base with shadow line. Dimension are including the base.
