In “BALANCE,” Henk Jan Sanderman captures a panda in a quiet, almost meditative pose. The painted porcelain form, carefully perched on a narrow grey bar against a white canvas, embodies the fragility of stillness and the art of holding steady in an unstable world.
Sanderman’s abstracted figurative style here bridges minimalism and surrealism, offering a thoughtful exploration of poise. The panda’s curled posture, with its soft, rounded form, contrasts against the strict geometry of the pedestal-like bar. The effect is both humorous and contemplative, inviting the viewer to reflect on balance as both a physical and metaphorical state.
The black-and-white palette of the panda is enhanced by the subdued grey of the pedestal and the faint wash of blue at the canvas base. These cool tones create calmness, reinforcing the artwork’s meditative quality. “BALANCE” is a piece that speaks to quiet resilience, its humour balanced with subtle elegance.
