An expressive bronze sculpture by Dutch artist Hugo Hol, created in the 1970s. The figure rises dynamically from a natural stone base, its angular form and welded texture evoking both strength and motion. The piece captures a sense of upward momentum — a gesture frozen in mid-balance, full of tension and vitality. Hugo Hol’s sculptural language combines modern abstraction with a human presence. His work often explores balance, transformation and movement, translating physical energy into raw material form. This piece exemplifies his ability to merge structure and emotion into a singular, poetic gesture. About the artist Hugo Hol (b. 1947) is a Dutch sculptor known for his distinctive use of welded metal and his expressive, gestural approach to form. Working from the 1960s onward, Hol developed a body of work that bridges constructivist rigor and organic freedom, often inspired by human motion and natural forces. His sculptures stand as tactile reflections of the tension between stability and fragility — between the mechanical and the alive.
