Henk Jan Sanderman's "When Pigs Fly (Black, Triptych)" presents a captivating exploration of whimsy and impossibility. This original artwork seamlessly combines sculpture and painting, with porcelain and bronze sculptures gracefully integrated onto a triptych canvas. At the focal point of the composition is a white realistic painted porcelain piglet, its charming features meticulously crafted with lifelike detail. Against a backdrop of minimalist white and black, the piglet strides confidently along a vibrant red string, defying gravity and challenging conventional expectations. The symbolism is powerful – a playful homage to the idiom "when pigs fly," inviting viewers to contemplate the boundless possibilities of the imagination. Henk Jan Sanderman's commitment to realism shines through in every aspect of the artwork. From the delicate contours of the piglet's form to the dynamic movement of the red string and the intricate detailing of the triptych canvases, each element contributes to the overall sense of wonder and delight. The color scheme of "When Pigs Fly (Black, Triptych)" is deliberately limited to white, black, and red, enhancing the visual impact of the composition while imbuing it with a sense of boldness and contrast. Signed by the artist, this captivating artwork is ready to be displayed and admired. Whether showcased in a gallery setting or adorning the walls of a private collection, "When Pigs Fly (Black, Triptych)" is sure to spark joy and ignite the imagination wherever it is encountered. For those interested in acquiring this remarkable piece, it is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, as well as online.
