Adam McEwen

diameter: 121.9 cm (47 7/8 in.)

2013

Adam McEwen's work presents a perfect circle rendered in rich graphite, its dimensions precisely defined by the title itself, blurring the boundary between measurement and meaning. Mounted on aluminum, the drawing takes on an industrial quality, elevating the simplicity of the geometric form into something monumental and deliberate. The piece invites contemplation of scale, precision, and the conceptual weight of a single, unbroken line.
