Gary Hume — The Pendulum
Gary Hume

The Pendulum

2006

"The Pendulum" by Gary Hume is a striking sculptural work that brings together the contrasting materiality of marble, lead, and slate. The juxtaposition of these elemental substances evokes a sense of weight and rhythm, suggesting the steady, hypnotic motion of a pendulum suspended between opposing forces. Hume's characteristically bold approach to form and surface transforms these raw, industrial materials into an meditation on time, balance, and the tension between stillness and movement.
