Fons Bemelmans - Abstract face sculpture on a pedestal
Signed at the bottom of the sculpture.
This striking bronze sculpture by Fons Bemelmans depicts an abstract face composed of powerful geometric shapes and open lines. The tall, slender construction gives the work an almost monumental appearance, while the openwork structure creates a lightness and transparency. This creates a dynamic interplay between form and emptiness, giving the sculpture a constantly changing appearance from different angles.
The circular cheeks, the sharp nose line, and the stylized eye create an intriguing balance between abstraction and subtle humanity. The expressive eyebrow adds a distinctive accent within the otherwise minimalist composition. The dark patina, enriched with copper and green tones, emphasizes the layering of the bronze and allows light and shadow to move beautifully across the surface.
The sturdy, polished base forms an elegant foundation and enhances the sculptural character of the piece. This striking work of art combines modern design with classic sculptural elements, making it a true eye-catcher for lovers of abstract figuration and expressive design.
