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 Serene and contemplative, Penguin A captures a quiet moment of stillness. The sculptural painted porcelain figure sits atop a delicately rendered iceberg, its head bowed in a gesture that suggests introspection or slumber. The smooth, hand-painted surface gives the piece a sense of warmth despite its icy subject, while the deep black and crisp white contrast against the soft blue velvet canvas, evoking the peaceful solitude of Antarctica. Henk Jan Sanderman’s signature style combines minimalism with charm, using clean lines and carefully balanced composition to create an engaging yet understated presence. The limited yet striking color palette—black, white, and warm accents of orange—adds a sense of simplicity that enhances the overall elegance of the piece. The velvety blue background offers a subtle texture, reminiscent of the open sky or the frozen expanse of the sea, making the artwork feel both contemporary and timeless. Perfect for any collector who appreciates playful yet refined artistry, Penguin A is signed and ready to display. This piece 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.
