Sür #8 1999

"Sür #8" is a sculpture created by Douglas Abdell in 1999. This piece is a minimalist composition of a roughly hewn stone block resting on a simple wooden platform, creating a striking contrast between the smooth, carved surface of the stone and the weathered texture of the wood. The stone block is carved with a series of concentric squares, culminating in a small, rectangular opening, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. The piece evokes a sense of both antiquity and contemporary art, as if a fragment of an ancient structure has been elevated to a new context.
