Sun Catcher

A seated figure cradles a large spiral form with one arm, their body rendered in animated, exaggerated proportions that suggest both playfulness and labour. The work captures a moment of intimate interaction between human and object—whether sun, wheel, or abstract concept—through its engaging composition. Cast in bronze and patinated in warm earthen tones beneath striking verdigris, the sculpture demonstrates Claerhout’s characteristic humour and expressive form, here translated into three-dimensional material.
