Expressive Standing Figure by Anthony Binstead, Belgium 1980s

An evocative and expressive iron sculpture by artist Anthony Binstead, created in the 1980s. The figure, built from welded metal sheets, conveys both strength and fragility. Its rough surface and elongated proportions evoke a deep sense of humanity reminiscent of the existential poise found in the works of Giacometti and Reg Butler.

Caught between motion and stillness, the figure seems to hover in a state of introspection. Binstead masterfully transforms industrial material into something profoundly poetic, giving iron a human pulse.
