With its sweeping lines and carefully articulated form, this whale glides forward in a quiet, powerful rhythm—like a slow, deliberate dance through open water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003eBuilt from reclaimed steel, gears, and salvaged mechanical components, Groenjes masterfully balances strength and elegance. The exposed inner framework hints at the mechanical origins of the piece, while the smooth outer contours create a sense of organic movement and life. Every curve, weld, and layered element contributes to the illusion that this massive creature is suspended mid-motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1277\"\u003eMounted on a solid industrial base, “Slow Dance” becomes both a sculpture and a statement—perfect for collectors drawn to nautical art, industrial design, wildlife sculpture, and contemporary metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003eThis piece is a beautiful example of Groenjes’ ability to bring unexpected softness and emotion to heavy materials—turning steel into something that feels alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ian Russell Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47702826320037,"sku":null,"price":5900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/1956\/6215\/files\/david-groenjes-slow-dance-metal-whale-sculpture.jpg?v=1775674146","url":"https:\/\/ianrussellart.com\/products\/slow-dance-the-humpback-whale-by-david-groenjes","provider":"Ian Russell Gallery ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
