Carroll Dunham — Female Portrait (Second Generation, C)
Carroll Dunham

Female Portrait (Second Generation, C)

A sculpted female figure rendered in painted aluminum sits atop a wooden table base, merging Dunham's signature graphic sensibility with three-dimensional form. The work extends his ongoing exploration of the female figure into the realm of sculpture, translating his bold, cartoonish aesthetic into a tactile, painted metal surface. The combination of industrial aluminum and organic wood creates a tension between the handmade and the fabricated.
