About the Item
A striking carved wood sculpture created in the 1990s by Tom de Munk-Kerkmeer. This expressive, figurative work reflects the artist’s deeply intuitive approach to the human form, combining raw materiality with a sensitive, almost introspective presence.
The sculpture presents a stylized female figure, carved directly from solid wood and mounted on a cylindrical base. The proportions are deliberately elongated and simplified, with softly rounded volumes and a subtly tilted head that conveys vulnerability and inward reflection. Traces of hand-carving remain visible across the surface, enhancing the tactile quality of the piece. A gentle, time-earned patina enriches the wood, allowing muted tones to emerge organically from the grain.
De Munk-Kerkmeer’s work often explores the balance between strength and fragility, body and emotion. This sculpture feels both grounded and contemplative, standing quietly yet confidently as an autonomous art object. The directness of the carving and the absence of unnecessary detail lend the work a timeless, almost archetypal quality.
A unique sculptural piece with strong presence, ideal for collectors of figurative sculpture and contemporary craft-based art.
