Fling

2002

"Fling" by John McCracken is a sculptural work created using polyester resin, fiberglass, and plywood that exemplifies the artist's exploration of minimalism and industrial materials. The piece demonstrates McCracken's characteristic approach of combining sleek, polished surfaces with geometric forms, creating a dynamic tension between the work's material heaviness and its visual lightness. Through his use of lustrous finishes and bold spatial presence, McCracken transforms industrial materials into contemplative objects that challenge traditional distinctions between painting and sculpture.
