Sentinel
2020
Sentinel is a life size figurative sculpture by Jason Kimes composed of a standing male form constructed entirely from circular steel elements welded together to create a textured, honeycomb like surface across the entire body. The figure stands upright with arms slightly away from the torso, conveying a sense of quiet strength and watchful presence. The patinated steel surface exhibits rich warm brown tones that integrate naturally into outdoor environments. Purchased from Oeno Gallery and installed in a private Palm Springs residence, this commanding work represents Kimes at his most elemental in exploring the human form through industrial materials.

Antony Gormley
British · b. 1950
Gormley creates life size and monumental standing male figurative sculptures in cast and fabricated metal that convey sentinel like watchfulness and quiet human presence, directly paralleling Kimes's upright patinated steel figure with arms slightly away from the torso.
Xavier Mascaró
Spanish · b. 1965
Mascaró produces life size standing figurative sculptures in patinated steel and iron with richly textured surfaces that weather beautifully outdoors, sharing the same warm oxidized tones and contemplative upright male presence found in Sentinel.
Barry Flanagan
British · b. 1941
Flanagan worked extensively in cast bronze and steel to create figurative sculptures with strong tactile surface qualities intended for outdoor settings, reflecting a comparable commitment to materiality and the relationship between a standing sculptural form and its natural environment.
