Cat's Tail
2020
This abstracted sculptural form combines vivid yellow and orange oil enamel on welded steel to create a totemic creature silhouette. The work features two looping curves that suggest feline or zoomorphic qualities, anchored by a horizontal orange cylinder and circular base, evoking both a tail and an upright posture. Van Earl's characteristic saturated color palette and modernist geometric approach transform the steel into a playful yet monumental presence. The smooth, glossy enamel finish emphasizes the sculptural form's bold outlines and creates dynamic visual tension between the curved and linear elements. Part of the CREATURES series, this piece exemplifies the artist's distinctive vocabulary of stylized animal abstraction rendered in industrial materials.
