Kneeling figure

In the 1970s, the Group of Ten poured its energy into monumental art, perfectly synchronizing with the explosion of outdoor sculpture in urban landscapes and city parks. Dodeigne's dynamic sculptures now inhabit numerous cities and museums across North America: Lille, Dunkirk, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Antwerp, Liege, Hanover, Utrecht, Bobigny, Argentan, and Paris, with recent additions including Grenoble in 1998 and Créteil. Here, the abstraction of the human form still allows viewers to discern the subject's kneeling posture. The rough, unpolished texture of the piece imbues it with an almost expressionist aura, conjuring up feelings of profound sorrow and mental anguish.
