Example of 7 Square
2018
This compact steel sculpture showcases Van Earl's signature approach to totemic abstraction through boldly painted geometric forms. Five colorful planes of oil enamel, in yellow, lime green, blue, teal, and white, wrap around a precisely folded steel structure, creating a dynamic three dimensional composition that reads as both modernist construction and stylized creature. The saturated, high contrast palette and crisp white separations between colored sections give the work a graphic quality that belies its sculptural depth. The angled surfaces catch light and shadow distinctly, emphasizing the work's volume and the artist's assured handling of form and color in steel.
