2011
This life-size sculptural work from the Nudes series presents a young figure rendered in wax and earth pigments sourced from diverse continents, creating an intentionally raw and earthy aesthetic. The figure is captured in a state of passive contemplation, embodying psychological stillness despite the inherent vitality of the human form. Rondinone employs passivity as a deliberate artistic strategy, suggesting it as a form of existential self-protection and presence without affirmation or denial. The global sourcing of materials infuses the work with international dimension while emphasizing the universal nature of human vulnerability.
