David Altmejd — incised '3' on the base
David Altmejd

incised '3' on the base

2009

A striking sculptural work by Canadian artist David Altmejd, this piece combines plaster, wood, paint, and burlap to create a richly textured, tactile composition mounted on the artist's own plinth. Altmejd's signature exploration of transformation, fragmentation, and organic form is evident in the interplay of raw and refined materials. The work is incised with the number '3' on its base, suggesting its place within a broader series or sequence.
