A towering bronze sculpture by Kenneth Armitage, *Tall Oak (nobbles)* captures the organic, textured essence of a mature oak tree through the artist's characteristically expressive handling of form. The surface is animated by knotted, irregular protrusions that evoke the gnarled growth and rugged bark of the ancient tree. Armitage's translation of natural form into cast bronze bridges the boundary between figuration and abstraction, celebrating the raw vitality of the natural world.
