City 13tinted urethane
2011
This sculptural work presents a golden cityscape mounted atop a cylindrical black base. The architectural forms, rendered in warm amber tones, feature prominent spires and towers that evoke an idealized urban skyline. The contrast between the luminous yellow upper structure and the dark foundation creates a striking visual effect, suggesting themes of aspiration and elevation. The piece exemplifies contemporary approaches to scale and material transformation, reimagining architectural monuments through the artist's distinctive lens.
