About the Item
This ceramic sculpture presents an abstract human head formation, made by Roy Terbeek in 1994 in the Netherlands. The piece features a modeling of facial features. There is a sense of harmony in the proportions: the neck strong yet graceful, and the overall shape flows naturally from crown to neckline. With vibrant detail, the shape itself speaks of an artist well aware of the interplay between light and form.
Created in the early 1990s, it reflects a period in which many artists were exploring personal identity and quiet presence rather than overt statement. This unique sculpture is intriguing and exudes an air of antiquity and natural physicality. Its form commands attention with its abstract and textured surface. At first glance, the shape of the sculpture draw the viewer in, with its irregularities. The glazing is a central expressive element, with its earthy-bronze tone. It offers a glass-like surface that catches light across its curvature, increasing the visual depth. Instead of creating tension, the shape and material bring the piece into perfect balance thanks to the unique design. This sculpture is undoubtedly as captivating from afar as it is up close. This work invites viewers to engage with the interplay of tradition and innovation, celebrating the enduring appeal of glazed ceramic as a medium for artistic expression.
Beyond its technical and aesthetic qualities, the sculpture evokes a contemplative mood. It is a work that rewards close viewing. This piece is also a rare representation of Dutch Post-Modernist design, an interesting phase of cultural, social impacts with artists and designers trying to figure out their way towards leaving their marks.
