Ugo Rondinone — Moonrise. West. July
Ugo Rondinone

Moonrise. West. July

2004

A large-scale sculptural figure rendered in black cast polyurethane, *Moonrise. West. July.* presents a rotund, simplified human form in a state of meditative stillness. Rondinone's work distills the human body into elemental, almost primitive shapes, evoking a quiet communion between the earthly and the celestial. The deep black surface absorbs light while lending the figure a weighty, monolithic presence that bridges the material and the mythological.
