Pendulum presents a bold, vertically oriented steel form painted in saturated yellow, magenta, lime green, and deep purple oil enamel. The silhouette suggests a stylized creature or totemic symbol, with a rounded bulbous base that tapers upward through parallel striped bands of contrasting colors before terminating in a squared, architectural top. The sculptural object, mounted flat against the wall, demonstrates Van Earl's signature approach of translating abstracted animal and creature forms into modernist shapes through vivid color blocking and clean linear divisions. The glossy enamel finish emphasizes the geometric precision of the stripes while the steel substrate provides structural weight and industrial materiality. This work exemplifies the artist's practice of infusing totemic, animistic imagery with contemporary color field sensibilities.
