Beautiful small bronze sculpture of a figure that has literally crawled into its shell.
Purchased in 2013 from Pulchri in The Hague
Annemarie Petri is a versatile and well-known artist and makes paintings, sculptures and etchings. She exhibits in various museums and galleries at home and abroad. Characteristic is that a very own, fairytale-like and melancholic world is shown, sometimes bizarre, sometimes strange and sometimes very recognizable.
The sculptures use the collage technique, which allows all sorts of dissimilar elements to be combined. For example: shells, fish, mechanical parts and children's toys are made into rubber moulds. Wax models are cast in these and welded together. The wax models are then cast in bronze in different parts, finished and then welded together and patinated. Making such a sculpture is time-consuming and requires a lot of craftsmanship.
