Twenty (20) Squares
2018
This vibrant collection of twenty small cubic sculptures showcases Van Earl's signature approach to totemic form through oil enamel painted steel. Each cube, approximately 5 centimeters on edge, is divided into geometric sections and rendered in boldly saturated colors including teals, magentas, yellows, blues, and oranges that create striking visual contrasts. The painted surfaces are divided by clean lines into triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal segments, suggesting abstracted animal features or masklike qualities characteristic of the CREATURES series. The high gloss enamel finish reflects light sharply, emphasizing the planar geometry and modernist sensibility of these compact sculptural forms. Together, the group reads as a playful yet formally rigorous exploration of color, division, and the potential for minimal cubic volumes to evoke figuration and personality.
