About the Item

Blossom V is a sculpture in lacquered walnut by the Dutch artist Wouter van der Vlugt. Dimensions are 13.8 × 27.6 × 18.9 in / 35 × 70 × 48 cm. It is a unique signed piece and it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. This sculpture is carved from wood, a material the artist gravitates toward for its natural presence, texture, scent, and tactile warmth. He works exclusively with local woods, selecting each piece for its size, which determines its sculptural potential. He approaches this living material with deep respect: while he shapes it with intention, the wood also guides the process through its own irregularities, contours, knots, and darkened areas. Wouter van der Vlugt’s sculptures investigate the relationship between form, light, and material through a dialogue of solid masses and hollowed spaces that create a sense of movement. In his practice, elegant organic forms drawn from nature coexist with more geometric, almost architectural structures. By carving deeply into the material, he seeks to reveal its inner essence, transforming what begins as a heavy, imposing volume into something unexpectedly light and airy. Born in 1970, Dutch artist Wouter van der Vlugt lives and works in Luxembourg. Since the 2000s, he has exhibited widely in galleries, art fairs, and biennales throughout Europe. His work has been highlighted by major events celebrating excellence in craft and artistic creation—selected in 2017 and 2019 for Révélations, the international biennial at the Grand Palais in Paris, and in 2022 for the Homo Faber exhibition at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice. Please note: the sculpture is not attached to a base, and the stand shown in the photograph is not included.
