Ugo Rondinone — moonrise.west.february
Ugo Rondinone

moonrise.west.february

2004

A solitary figure rendered in cast polyurethane and painted entirely black, *moonrise.west.february* is part of Rondinone's iconic series of clown-like human forms frozen in quiet repose. The work's monochromatic surface strips the figure of identity and expression, transforming it into a universal silhouette that hovers between presence and absence. Grounded in stillness, the piece evokes themes of solitude, time, and the meditative rhythm of the natural world.
