By Artist Henk van Putten Hexagon SDG- 1232 24 x 20 x 6 cm. high. solid stainless steel. polished. These series of sculptures are made of a number of parts connected with epoxy resin. To ensure a strong attachment the surfaces to be glued have been etched. The roughening is mostly done by sanding. In this series the etching is replaced by a structure of fine lettering. Beautiful parts of Sri Aurobindo's epic poem SAVITRI are inscribed in the surfaces. Of course nothing is visible any more, but I call this series "my soul sculptures". About Henk van Putten Abstract: It is said, especially in constructive art, that “less is more”. The ideal would be a simple, strong, shape, well made and of interesting construction. For the past forty years I have been trying to make such work, but I still struggle with contradictory considerations: leaving things out (like surfaces) can lead to objects which do not look simpler, but, on the contrary, more complex. Presenting a geometrical idea in a beautiful way sits in the way of presenting it in an understandable way. These days, I notice that considerations of ‘beauty’ are of less concern to me than they used to be; it is the geometrical idea, the play with newly discovered ratios, which takes precedence. *Our job is to find and target great art by collecting a vast array of contemporary, vintage, antique and collectible items from across the globe.

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.
