An extraordinary sculpture
Balkenhol's unique technique lends the bronze a special liveliness with its rough, almost sketch-like surface. The elaborate painting enhances the expression of the sculpture and emphasizes the fine details.
Only in front of Balkenhol's originals can the profound complexity of the sculptures be recognized and their compelling aura captivate the viewer.
The figure, richly detailed, stands upright and composed, its classical pose contrasting with the heavy anklet that binds it to a small globe. This symbolic representation of imprisonment and global connections is thought-provoking and captivates the viewer.
This bronze sculpture is not only an eye-catcher for any modern interior, but also a powerful work of art that raises deeper social and philosophical questions. "Prisoner" is a perfect addition to any art collection and an inspirational element that will create a strong presence in any room.
