Richard Deacon's *Coat* is a sculptural work that exemplifies the artist's signature exploration of form, surface, and material relationships. The piece evokes a sense of organic fluidity, with its curving, enveloping shapes suggesting the soft contours and protective qualities of a garment wrapped around an absent body. Deacon's skillful manipulation of his chosen medium invites viewers to consider the boundaries between the physical and the implied, the object and its human resonance.
