Anke Birnie - bronze sculpture | 'Woman with billowing dress'

A remarkable and characterful bronze sculpture by the Dutch sculptor Anke Birnie, in which movement, elegance, and power come together in a beautiful way.

The slender female figure seems to surrender to the wind with her head held high. Her clothing moves gracefully along with it, giving the image an almost elegant appearance. At the same time, the figure radiates calm, self-confidence, and a certain steadfastness.

It is precisely this striking contrast between movement and stillness that makes the work so captivating. Anke Birnie's sculptures are a静谧 representation of the natural element 'air', combined with the human element 'movement'. The long limbs, the stylized body forms, and the flowing clothing are characteristic of her recognizable and distinctive visual language. Her sculptures possess a rock-solid character and seem to effortlessly hold their own under all circumstances.


In her work, influences from famous sculptors such as Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) and Germaine Richier (1904-1959) are recognizable. However, after her professional art education at the Artibus Academy in Utrecht, Anke Birnie developed a style entirely her own, in which expression, human movement, and form take center stage.


The finish of this sculpture also contributes to its distinctive appearance. The vibrant green-brown patina gives the bronze depth and character and emphasizes the sculpture's organic forms. From various viewpoints, the sculpture continues to surprise and subtly draws attention. A stylish and expressive sculpture that looks stunning in both modern and classic interiors.


An interesting collector's item for lovers of figurative modern sculpture and a special opportunity to add a work by Anke Birnie to the collection.


The whole is in neat condition.
