With its bold, geometric yet fluid design, this piece exudes both strength and elegance, making it a statement artwork for any interior.
Born in 1946, Bert van Beek is a highly regarded Dutch sculptor known for his abstract and organic forms, often inspired by nature. His early works, predominantly in wood, showcase a masterful understanding of weight, mass, and negative space, creating pieces that feel both monumental and harmonious. Over the years, he expanded his practice to stone carving, but his love for wood remained a defining element in his artistic journey.
During the 1970s, van Beek gained recognition for his bold, abstract sculptures, many of which explored themes of the human form, movement, and natural structures. His works have been exhibited in various galleries and remain highly sought after by collectors.
