Sculpture "Indian Big Chief"

"Indian Big Chief" by Claes Hake

In his artistic practice, Claes Hake has often engaged with the forces of nature – exploring movement, grandeur, and the delicate acts of balance. In his monumental works, one can sense how he seeks to represent nature, and above all, to bring nature into carefully constructed public spaces. His works often leave the viewer in awe; at times, it may seem as though the stone has not been shaped by hand at all, but rather discovered just as it is – perfectly suited to the sculpture in question.
