Richard Serra — Clara Clara I
Richard Serra

Clara Clara I

Clara Clara I is a monumental work by Richard Serra that translates his iconic sculptural language into a two-dimensional format, utilizing bold, gestural applications of Paintstick combined with screenprint on delicate Japanese Kizuki Hanga Dosa paper. The work's imposing scale and raw, dense markings create a powerful tension between the refined surface of the traditional Japanese paper and the forceful, industrial energy of Serra's technique. This interplay of opposing materialities reflects Serra's enduring preoccupation with weight, mass, and the physical presence of form.
