About the Item

A highly refined and poetic standing sculpture by Dutch artist Petra Hartman, titled Iris in a Vase, created in 2002. The work unfolds as a delicate yet powerful composition, where an abstracted iris rises from a figurative, almost theatrical base balancing fragility with presence. Executed in stainless steel, the sculpture is distinguished by its hand-shaped contours and sensitively worked surface. The interplay of cut-out forms and reflective planes creates a subtle dialogue with light and space, giving the piece a shifting, almost immaterial quality. Hartman’s work occupies a unique position between figuration and abstraction, often described as drawing in space. In Iris in a Vase, the floral motif transcends its subject, becoming an expressive gesture elegant, rhythmic, and deeply sculptural. Works by Petra Hartman are included in museum collections, underscoring the artistic importance and collectable nature of her oeuvre. A highly distinctive and museum worthy piece, offering both sculptural presence and conceptual depth. Condition Excellent condition.

Abstract Organic Bronze Sculpture by César Bailleux, Belgium, 1980s

Abstract Organic Bronze Sculpture by César Bailleux, Belgium, 1980s

Located in DE KWAKEL, NL

A remarkable bronze sculpture by Belgian artist Cesar Bailleux from his celebrated Techno Nature collection. This series explores the fascinating intersection between organic life and technology, merging natural growth forms with futuristic mechanical elements into a highly distinctive sculptural language. The composition combines biomorphic volumes with flowing curves and textured surfaces, creating an object that appears simultaneously alive and engineered. Smooth polished forms emerge from rough, organically cast planes, while the elegant circular elements introduce a sense of movement and balance. The sculpture invites continuous exploration, revealing new relationships between its abstract forms from every angle. Bailleux’s Techno Nature works are characterized by their unique dialogue between evolution and innovation. Rather than opposing nature and technology, they present both as complementary forces, resulting in sculptures that feel timeless, imaginative, and strikingly contemporary. About the artist Cesar Bailleux is a Belgian sculptor best known for his Techno Nature series, a body of work in which abstract organic forms merge with technological aesthetics. His sculptures are cast in bronze using traditional techniques while embracing a distinctly modern visual language. His work has been exhibited internationally and is appreciated for its technical mastery, imaginative compositions, and beautifully developed patinas. Condition Very good condition with a beautifully developed natural patina that enhances the sculpture’s depth and sculptural presence.
