Bronze Sculpture by Dutch Artist Hugo Hol, 1970s

An expressive bronze sculpture by Dutch artist Hugo Hol, created in the 1970s. The figure rises dynamically from a natural stone base, its angular form and welded texture evoking both strength and motion. The piece captures a sense of upward momentum — a gesture frozen in mid-balance, full of tension and vitality.

Hugo Hol’s sculptural language combines modern abstraction with a human presence. His work often explores balance, transformation and movement, translating physical energy into raw material form. This piece exemplifies his ability to merge structure and emotion into a singular, poetic gesture.
