About Rising Up (S'elevant)

The artwork titled “Rising Up (S’elevant)” was created by artist Jean Arp in 1962. This sculpture, a testament to the Surrealism art movement, is housed in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, UK. The dimensions of the piece are 44.5 x 176.5 cm.

The artwork exhibits a vertically oriented organic form with a smooth, undulating surface that twists and rises gracefully upward. It appears to be an abstract representation, embodying the fluid and dreamlike qualities characteristic of Surrealism. The sculpture is positioned on a pedestal, elevating it and emphasizing its upward-reaching motion. Its minimalist and flowing design invites reflection on natural growth and the subconscious mind. The material used in the sculpture appears to be polished marble or a similar smooth stone, adding to its refined and pure aesthetic.
