Circular Relief 1925

Naum Gabo's "Circular Relief" (1925) is a prime example of Constructivist sculpture, a movement that emphasized geometric forms and industrial materials. Composed of transparent and opaque planes arranged in a circular pattern, the sculpture explores the interplay of light and shadow. The use of transparent materials, like plastic, reflects Gabo's interest in the dynamism of space and his desire to break free from the limitations of traditional sculpture. This artwork represents the artist's exploration of abstract form and the potential of modern materials.
