“Just as his early paintings questioned the conventional relationship between a picture and its supporting field, these new polychrome relief sculptures from his Scarlatti Sonata series challenge viewers to adopt new ways of interpreting three-dimensional forms. Composed of coils, lattices and geometric volumes shot through with steel tubing, these works pull the eye along twists and turns that are both muscular and lyrical.”
