About the Item

This wooden sculpture, crafted circa 1965, captures the fluidity and elegance of the human form with its elongated, twisting contours and natural wood grain. Its minimalistic design evokes comparisons to Diego Giacometti’s aesthetic, blending simplicity with a deep emotional resonance. The figure’s organic lines and textured surface reflect themes of balance and grace, while its verticality lends a striking sense of presence. Mounted on a sleek metal base, the sculpture harmonizes materiality with modernist sensibilities, bridging fine art and design. Reminiscent of mid-century modern ideals, it echoes the Giacometti’s focus on abstraction and human expression. This piece stands as a timeless testament to craftsmanship, offering a refined yet evocative addition to any modern art collection. Provenance: Acquired from the collection of a Belgian Architect.
