Executed in brightly coloured cut metal, the figures combine humour, social commentary and graphic simplicity into a series of highly distinctive contemporary sculptures.

each figure is reduced to a bold silhouette, yet remains rich in character through a carefully balanced use of symbols and cut-out details. The exposed spine, heart motif and directional suitcase transform the figures into visual narratives, inviting interpretation while maintaining a light-hearted and accessible presence. The contrasting colours create a dynamic dialogue between the individual sculptures, allowing them to function both as a unified composition and as independent works.

blankwaard’s work is characterised by its direct visual language and ability to communicate complex human themes through deceptively simple forms. The coeneman figures reflect his fascination with identity, movement, relationships and everyday life, translated into a style that balances contemporary sculpture, graphic design and storytelling.

presented as a complete set of four, these sculptures form a rare and engaging ensemble with strong visual impact.
