Couple No. 1
A commanding sculptural assemblage by Marisol, *Couple No. 1* combines carved and painted wood with fabric and mixed media to create two iconic, totemic figures that explore the dynamics of human relationships. The work reflects Marisol's signature blend of folk art sensibility and Pop Art wit, using simplified, geometric forms alongside painted facial features to evoke both intimacy and psychological distance. An electric motor animates the piece, introducing an element of mechanical movement that adds an uncanny, living quality to these otherwise rigid, constructed figures.
