In Rabbit Hole, Henk Jan Sanderman transforms the familiar image of a rabbit into something quietly playful and unexpected. Created using painted porcelain on canvas in an edition of 25, the work combines elements of realism and contemporary wildlife art with a subtle sense of humour. The rabbit appears to emerge directly through the surface itself, creating an illusion that blurs the boundary between sculpture and painting.
The composition is deliberately minimal, allowing the warm caramel tones of the rabbit’s fur to stand out against the crisp white background and deep black circular opening. Sanderman’s refined attention to texture gives the porcelain surface an almost lifelike softness, while the carefully balanced palette keeps the work elegant and modern. The contrast between the clean geometry of the canvas and the organic curves of the animal creates a striking visual tension.
There is a charm to the piece that feels both sophisticated and light-hearted. The rabbit’s curious expression invites the viewer into the work, while the title Rabbit Hole hints at fantasy, storytelling, and imagination. This original artwork by Henk Jan Sanderman is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
