This abstract sculpture was conceived some ten years ago. The studies for it lead to the entire Nike series. It was inspired by the famous 1911 painting by Marcel DuChamps, "Nude Descending a Staircase 2" which kicked off the cubism movement and illustrated a body in motion. Driving a 50's vintage car down a steep set of curves creates a body of motion that one does not forget. The shapes in DuChamp's painting are very similar to the lines of the Chevy, illustrated here in sculpture. This is Tj's custom casting, formed using an original recipe of casting stone materials.The original study is also available Contact Tj for purchase. |
