Dick Aerts - Salome bronze sculpture
Dick Aerts - Salome bronze sculpture
Signed on the back of the sculpture.
This expressive bronze sculpture depicts Salome in an elegant, slightly twisted pose that exudes both strength and refinement. The rough modeling and layered texture, characteristic of Dick Aerts ' work, give the figure a vibrant plasticity and allow subtle movements to become clearly palpable. Her crossed arms and forward-leaning torso suggest a moment of inner tension, contemplation, or concentrated calm, without the sculpture becoming overly dramatic.
The elongated, rocky base forms a natural extension of her body, creating a harmonious unity between sculpture and base. The dark patina emphasizes the depth of the forms and allows light to play softly across the contours, bringing the modeling to life.
Despite its compact size, this work has a clear, almost theatrical presence thanks to its powerful lines and careful composition. It's a special work for lovers of figurative bronzes, with an expressive, layered, and characterful appearance.
