Henk Jan Sanderman’s Rabbit Hole presents a contemporary interpretation of wildlife art through an inventive combination of painted porcelain on canvas. Produced in an edition of 25, the artwork merges realism with sculptural illusion, giving the impression that the rabbit is diving into — or emerging from — the canvas itself. The playful concept is executed with remarkable precision, creating a piece that feels both refined and imaginative.
The soft grey palette gives this version of Rabbit Hole a calm and understated atmosphere. Delicate variations of ivory, ash, and pale stone tones are contrasted against the bold black opening, allowing the subtle textures of the porcelain to become the focal point. Sanderman’s highly controlled surface treatment captures the gentle texture of fur and the rounded form of the rabbit with impressive realism, while still maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
Minimal yet full of personality, the work balances humour with craftsmanship in a way that makes it instantly engaging. The simplicity of the composition draws attention to the illusionistic quality of the piece and the artist’s technical skill. This original artwork by Henk Jan Sanderman is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
