Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

"Constriction" by Manon Wertenbroek is a vertical sculpture featuring muted, earthy tones and a smooth, undulating surface, suggesting the shape beneath is being gently distorted. The sculpture appears almost like a stretched skin, embodying themes of tension and containment. Wertenbroek's work often explores the boundaries of physical forms using unexpected materials, and this piece exemplifies her interest in the dual nature of skin as both a barrier and a connection. This particular work continues her exploration of the body as a form, delving into themes of sensuality and enclosure. ...

Through the artist's material explorations, Manon Wertenbroek examines the definition of a physical form and its limits, as well as what lies beyond the skin as an envelope.

Wertenbroek is always looking for materials and ways to cross the line between sentimentality and eroticism, using materials such as latex, leather, metal clasps, lights, and piercings. Her sculptures are often disembodied, suggesting bodies without taking on volume or form. In 2017, Wertenbroek received the Swiss Art Award from the Federal Office of Culture. ...
