Marieke Zwetsloot (Dutch, b. 1960s)
Untitled Sculpture, 2002
Ceramic, metal, and brass
H. 36 cm (14.17 in.) x D. 44 cm (17.32 in.)
This striking mixed-media sculpture by Dutch artist Marieke Zwetsloot is a masterclass in balancing fragility and strength. Created in 1998, the work juxtaposes an open latticework of welded metal rods with a subtle ceramic base, softened by earthy brass accents. Rising vertically like an abstract architectural fragment, the piece conveys both monumentality and lightness, its form at once skeletal and precise. Two small brass flags crown the top, introducing a poetic note of whimsy to an otherwise geometric structure.
Zwetsloot’s practice often explores the dialogue between architecture, structure, and symbolism, translating everyday materials into sculptural compositions that hover between object and model, fragility and permanence. Her work sits comfortably at the intersection of contemporary design and fine art, appealing to collectors drawn to experimental use of form and material.
This piece, with its architectural clarity and delicate surface presence, makes a commanding yet contemplative statement in any interior.
