About the Item

We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Limited edition of 25 Full of energy and movement, Penguin B brings a delightful sense of playfulness to the viewer. The hand-painted porcelain figure appears mid-tumble, caught in the joyous chaos of a misstep on its icy perch. Its flippers splay outward, and its feet kick up, creating a dynamic and lighthearted moment frozen in time. The sense of weightlessness is beautifully captured, adding an element of humor and spontaneity to the composition. The contrast between the glossy black and white porcelain against the plush blue velvet background enhances the three-dimensional effect, giving the penguin an almost lifelike presence. The addition of orange highlights around the beak and eyes subtly draws attention to the character’s expression, adding to the overall charm. Sanderman’s ability to merge minimalism with narrative storytelling is on full display here, transforming a simple moment into something truly engaging. Ideal for collectors who appreciate both craftsmanship and whimsy, Penguin B is signed and ready to be showcased. This artwork is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist biography: Painter/sculptor Henk Jan Sanderman (1975), born in the Netherlands, currently lives and works in a small town in the middle of Holland. In his studio he renders oil paintings, as well as casting sculptures in porcelain and bronze. The artist’s work defines itself as humorous realism, conveying objects and various subject matter in great detail against a black and white background. In the same hyper-realistic style as his paintings, Henk Jan creates sculptures and wall artwork imbued with impressive life-like accuracy. His main focus is humorous hyperrealism painting where he sets his subject matter against a white or black background, allowing more space for interaction whilst demonstrating and emphasising intense attention to detail. The artist’s works have an endearing ambience, influenced with their light-hearted aspects. Current works demonstrative innovative merging of the canvas and sculpture, providing a contemporary body of installations. His works has been featured at Palet magazine, Atelier magazine, Coda museum, Stadsmuseum Harderwijk and museum De Fundatie. In 2014 Henk Jan participated in the television program "Sterren op het Doek" and created a portrait of Seth Gaaikema. In 2015, he was asked to return for the final season of "Sterren op het Doek", due to being one of the best artists of the past nine seasons.
