Ugo Rondinone — Seven
Ugo Rondinone

Seven

2016

Seven consists of fourteen painted stones balanced and stacked atop a concrete base, their weathered surfaces adorned with vivid, carefully applied hues that animate the natural forms. Rondinone transforms these elemental found objects into totemic figures that evoke both ancient ritual and a childlike sense of play, bridging the geological and the human. The work's quiet, meditative presence invites contemplation of weight, balance, and the tension between the rawness of nature and the deliberate touch of the artist.
