Caephae-Aekyad #2 1980

"Caephae-Aekyad #2" (1980) is a monumental abstract sculpture by American artist Douglas Abdell, known for his geometric forms. The sculpture, composed of large, angular, black steel plates, creates a dynamic interplay of negative and positive spaces, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form and void. This sculpture reflects Abdell's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as the steel's surface absorbs and reflects light, contributing to the sculpture's powerful visual impact. The work's imposing size and its placement outdoors further enhance its presence, allowing viewers to experience the sculpture in an immersive way.
