"Flying Solo" Abstract organic wood sculpture by Ineke van Zuuren, Netherlands, 1970s

A beautifully sculpted abstract wooden sculpture titled “Flying Solo” by Dutch artist Ineke van Zuuren, dating from the 1970s. This elegant work combines flowing organic curves with a refined, minimalist composition, creating a remarkable sense of movement, balance and lightness. The sculpture features a continuous, sweeping form that curves gracefully around an open central space, culminating in a delicate upward-pointing element. Its fluid silhouette evokes the sensation of flight, while the carefully balanced proportions create a fascinating interplay between solid wood and negative space. The beautifully polished surface reveals the exceptional natural grain of the wood, with warm reddish-brown tones and rhythmic lines that follow the sculptural contours. The combination of smooth, tactile surfaces and expressive organic forms gives the piece a timeless, almost architectural quality. A highly decorative and sophisticated work of art, equally appealing from different viewing angles and perfectly suited to both contemporary and modernist interiors. Condition.
