Ina van Faassen - Man on 1 Leg (1996)
Ina van Faassen - Man on 1 Leg (1996)
Signed and dated (1996) on the foot.
This expressive bronze sculpture by Ina van Faassen depicts a man balancing on one leg in an open, almost jubilant pose. His elongated arms are spread wide, giving the sculpture a sense of lightness, dynamism, and free movement. The rough modeling emphasizes the spontaneous energy of the pose and allows the light to play vibrantly across the surface, further accentuating the movement.
His raised leg and slightly tilted head suggest a moment of joy, freedom, or pure surrender—as if the figure is completely swept away by the moment. The irregular base beneath the feet reinforces the idea of ascending or seeking balance, giving the sculpture a playful yet powerful character.
The dark patina gives the work a warm, earthy feel and adds depth to the expressive forms. This artwork captures energy, vulnerability, and humanity in a single gesture, making it a powerful focal point in both modern and classic interiors.
