An impressive, large sculpture in natural stone, originating from the estate of the Dutch Outsider Art artist Dick Dal. This object is a testament to his ability to transform raw matter into a fluid, organic whole.
Artistic analysis:
The sculpture is characterized by a rhythmic pattern of horizontal, undulating ridges that embrace the entire stone. The interplay between the polished green surfaces and the deep shadowing in the grooves gives the work enormous dynamism. The form is abstract, yet evokes associations with natural structures such as coral or layered sediments.

About the artist:
Dick Dal (Arnhem) was a unique figure in the art world. He worked in complete isolation to prevent his artistic process from being influenced by modern society. His work was awarded a nomination for the Special Award in 2019. Because he worked purely from his intuition, he sometimes left larger objects like this one unsigned, while the artistic 'fingerprint' is unmistakable.
Logistics: Due to the weight of 29 kg, the buyer should take into account collection or special transport.
