Product description
A poetic and charismatic environmental assemblage sculpture by Dutch-Australian artist Tom de Munk-Kerkmeer, created in the 1990s. Formed from naturally weathered wood combined with subtle interventions in pigment and texture, the work has a powerful anthropomorphic presence part spirit figure, part ecological relic.
Balancing on a solid geometric base, the sculpture has an almost weightless posture, as if caught between movement and stillness. The carved head, soft facial expression and heart-shaped accent inject a disarming humanity, whereas the found-wood body preserves the organic history of the land it came from. It is a rare example of de Munk-Kerkmeer’s ability to merge nature, storytelling and contemporary sculpture.
About the Artist
Tom de Munk-Kerkmeer is a Dutch-born artist who developed much of his sculptural language in Australia. His work bridges environmental art, assemblage and anthropomorphic abstraction. De Munk-Kerkmeer is known for using natural found materials, allowing their organic shapes to guide the final form. His sculptures often explore themes of identity, spirit and belonging, and are appreciated for their expressive simplicity and deep connection to nature.
