Untitled
1962
This abstract sculpture exemplifies the artist's distinctive approach to assemblage and material transformation. Composed of crumpled and folded sheets of painted copper and aluminum, the work exploits the inherent qualities of industrial materials through aggressive manipulation and color application. The geometric forms create a dynamic composition of intersecting planes in deep blues, golds, and earth tones, mounted on a wooden base. The work demonstrates the artist's signature technique of transforming ordinary industrial materials into expressive abstract forms through gestural intervention.
