This sterling silver pendant depicts two sirens dancing. It is on a knotted cord and made by Dutch sculptor Nic Jonk in collaboration with Jos Peperkamp. Made in 1981 in the Netherlands. It is dated and has Nic’s signature.
Our family has many pieces of jewelry, sculptures, paintings, and prints by Nic Jonk because he was a dear friend before his passing in 1994. He was at our home in Santa Cruz, CA, for an art show and gave many pieces to my mother.
Nic's Bio:
Nicolaas (Nic) Jonk (1928-1994) was a highly respected Dutch artist and teacher. A prolific artist producing many paintings, graphic, glass, and ceramic works, he is mainly known for his wonderful monumental figurative and mythologically themed bronze sculptures. His voluptuous and joyful works are in prominent public and private collections internationally.
In 1965 Nic Jonk established a museum and sculpture garden in the expansive grassy dunes of Grootschemer Holland, just north of Amsterdam. Today, 30 of his giant bronzes are displayed in addition to a gallery of his paintings and other works. The property is currently an art and musical concert venue in full operation, open to the public, and really should not be missed.
Beloved in the Netherlands, more than 250 of Nic Jonk’s sculptures are in public spaces. His work is also represented in many private collections and exhibited internationally. A few notable and unique installations are:
‘’Acqua e Sole’’ in San Gimignano, Italy
“Water and Sun” in the city parc Rheine, Germany
“Pacific” in Athens, Greece
“Song at Blue Bay” in the sculpture garden in Curaçao
“Water and Sun" at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee
‘’Eve and the Snake ‘’ at the University of California Santa Cruz
“Io and the Cloud in a private sculpture garden Rio Del Mar, California less
