George Segal — Girl on a Chair
George Segal

Girl on a Chair

A ghostly white plaster figure of a seated young woman is affixed to a red painted chair, the stark contrast between the two creating a haunting sense of stillness and quiet introspection. Contained within a black painted lumber-wood box, the work functions as a wall-hanging multiple, transforming an intimate, everyday moment into a framed tableau. Segal's signature casting technique preserves the raw, anonymous quality of the human form, evoking themes of solitude and the poetry of ordinary life.
