About Human Concretion

“Human Concretion” is a sculpture created by the artist Jean Arp in 1933. This work is aligned with the Surrealist art movement and is held at Kunsthaus Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland.

The artwork “Human Concretion” exhibits a smooth, organic form that evokes a sense of fluidity and natural growth. The sculpture appears as an abstract, sensuous mass, flowing seamlessly in a manner that defies rigid geometric structure. Its surface is polished, presenting a gentle interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the tactile quality of the piece. The form, devoid of sharp edges or angles, conveys a sense of continuity and unity, resonating with the Surrealist fascination with the unconscious mind and the exploration of organic shapes akin to those found in nature. Positioned on a pedestal, this piece engages viewers to ponder the relationship between the physical and the metaphysical, emphasizing the eloquent expressiveness of abstract art.
