Artwork location: United Kingdom
This striking sculpture, a masterpiece of modern art, features two elongated legs standing upright on a solid rectangular base. The figure is crafted from a sleek, dark metal, giving it a glossy finish that reflects light subtly, enhancing the sculpture's sense of depth and dimension. What sets this artwork apart is its masterful abstraction: the torso abruptly discontinues, leaving the viewer to ponder the invisible presence above. The legs are expertly molded to capture the elegance and natural curvature of the human form, while the hands, gracefully clasping together, invoke a sense of connection and unity. The deliberate omission of the upper body challenges traditional perceptions of wholeness, inviting a dialogue about absence and presence. Positioned with the backdrop of an expansive sea, the sculpture achieves dramatic juxtaposition—its polished form contrasting with the fluid, dynamic behavior of water. This contrast accentuates the sculpture's themes of stability versus fluidity, anchoring versus drifting, making it a compelling piece that demands reflection and engagement.

Presentation
Johannes Nielsens is a Swedish artist, he was born in 1979 in Falkenberg, Sweden. He graduated in 2003 in Fine Arts from the Lunds Art School. Between 2003 and 2005, he worked as an artistic assistant in Dublin then came back to Sweden, Gotenburg until 2007. He lives and works in Beijing now.
At the age of 8, he realized in bed during his repeated dreams that the perception of his own body could vary. He imagined himself with huge hands or thin needle like legs and sometimes woke up and realized that it was just a dream. This is when he understood the difference between rational objective reality and inner reality, an imagination where the human being seems to evolve constantly.
With the help of his creations, the artist wanted to transform this inner experience of the physical body by using clay and proportions. His black sculptures are not only personal due to the depiction of this inner space, but a visible honest reality.
