Lui 1969

"Lui" is a 1969 abstract sculpture by Cuban-American artist Agustin Cardenas. The piece is carved from dark wood and features a tall, slender form with an openwork structure and organic, flowing lines. This style of abstract sculpture is often referred to as "biomorphic" and suggests a sense of movement and dynamism, echoing the artistic trends of the late 1960s. Cardenas's use of wood adds a natural and organic feel to the piece, highlighting the beauty of the material. His artistic career, spanning from 1927 to 2001, was marked by a fascination with the human form, which he explored through his distinctive abstract approach, creating works like "Lui" that speak to universal themes of form, space, and the essence of being.
