Notes: Filtered through the artist's particular economical genius, even smaller scale works such as this one are transformed into something timeless and even monumental. Figure is distilled and abstracted into Pangnark's trademark minimalist sculptural language. Subtly shaped and smoothed to a soft matte surface, the stone used for this work highlights the elemental purity of the sculpture's form. The streamlined body is distilled to only its essential features: delicately delineated facial features and two arms. From the solid mass of stone that indicates the lower part of the body, Figure tapers effortlessly upward at a slight angle before culminating in the rounded form of a hood.
