Black Lightining (Garden) 1981

"Black Lightning (Garden)" is a minimalist sculpture by Ronald Bladen, created in 1981. This outdoor sculpture is composed of large, geometric shapes constructed from painted metal. The black and white planes create a striking visual contrast against the green grass, emphasizing the sculpture's bold forms. Bladen's work is known for its exploration of abstract forms, exploring the relationship between light, space, and geometric shapes. This piece, like many of his sculptures, invites viewers to experience the interplay of positive and negative space, engaging them in a dialogue about the relationship between art and nature.
