Black Jack 2006

"Black Jack" (2006) is a large-scale sculpture by Inigo Manglano-Ovalle. The work is a highly stylized and abstract representation of a jack, a popular children's toy. The sculpture is made of black, polished steel and is composed of long, thin rods that intersect at various angles, creating a complex and dynamic form. The abstract nature of the sculpture draws on minimalist traditions and invites viewers to engage with the object on a purely formal level, contemplating the interplay of light, shadow, and geometric shapes.
