MODERNIST SCULPTURE

A striking example of mid-20th century modernist wood sculpture, this original signed work by Peekema. The sculptor has carved an organic, biomorphic torso-like shape from a single substantial block of timber, allowing the natural grain of the wood to become an active element of the composition. The piece sits within an architectural surround of two upright panels, framing the central form and creating a dialogue between.

The warm, honey-toned wood has been finished to a smooth, tactile surface that rewards close inspection. The sculpture rests on a solid rectangular plinth, and the artist's name is carved directly into the base.
