Pier and Ocean 1996

"Pier and Ocean" (1996) by Roberto Chabet (1937-2013) is a minimalist sculpture. It features a single, long, wooden plank extending across the floor, bisecting a large, flat blue panel. The plank is positioned against a white wall, suggesting a pier jutting out into an endless blue ocean. Chabet's use of simple, geometric forms creates a sense of space and vastness, while the interplay of color and light evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation. His work often explores the relationship between form, space, and light, often referencing his surroundings.
