About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Wall Shark" by Henk Jan Sanderman is a striking ceramic wall sculpture that commands attention with its powerful presence and lifelike detail. This original artwork features a meticulously crafted shark's head, rendered in shades of grey and white, evoking a sense of strength and majesty. The focal point of the piece is undoubtedly the shark's head, which emerges from the wall with a sense of dynamic energy. Sanderman's mastery of ceramic and bronze sculpture is evident in every detail, from the sharp contours of the shark's teeth to the subtle texture of its skin. The monochromatic color scheme of white, grey, and black adds to the sense of drama and intensity, emphasizing the predatory nature of the shark. Against a neutral backdrop, the sculpture stands out as a bold statement piece, commanding the attention of anyone who enters the room. The realism of the sculpture is enhanced by the use of porcelain accents, which add depth and dimension to the artwork. The subtle interplay of light and shadow further emphasizes the lifelike qualities of the sculpture, creating a sense of movement and vitality. Signed by the artist and ready for display, "Wall Shark" is a testament to Sanderman's artistic talent and technical skill. This extraordinary wall sculpture is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Don't miss the opportunity to bring a touch of the ocean's majesty into your home with this captivating artwork that celebrates the beauty and power of marine life. Artist Biography: Born in 1975 in the Netherlands, Henk Jan Sanderman currently lives and works in a small town in central Holland. In his studio, he creates intricate oil paintings alongside porcelain and bronze sculptures. Sanderman’s work is defined by a unique blend of humorous realism, showcasing objects and diverse subject matter in exquisite detail against stark black and white backgrounds. Focusing primarily on humorous hyperrealism, Sanderman places his subjects against these minimalist backdrops, allowing for greater interaction and emphasizing his intense attention to detail. His works exude an endearing ambiance, enhanced by their light-hearted qualities. His current pieces demonstrate an innovative merging of canvas and sculpture, culminating in a contemporary body of installations. Henk Jan’s art has been featured in notable publications, including Palet Magazine and Atelier Magazine, and exhibited at esteemed institutions such as the Coda Museum, Stadsmuseum Harderwijk, and Museum De Fundatie. In 2014, he gained recognition by participating in the television program “Sterren op het Doek,” where he created a portrait of Seth Gaaikema. Due to his impressive performance, he was invited back for the final season in 2015, recognized as one of the best artists of the past nine seasons.
