Carved from a single monumental section of redwood, this commanding sculpture by David Adamo exemplifies the artist’s distinctive approach to material, scale, and process. Standing an impressive 87 inches high, the work transforms a massive timber into an expressive sculptural form through deliberate subtraction, allowing the natural character of the wood to remain central to the composition. Rather than concealing the inherent qualities of the material, Adamo embraces them. Tool marks, grain patterns, and subtle irregularities become part of the finished work, creating a powerful dialogue between raw material and refined form.
David Adamo’s work has been exhibited internationally, including the Whitney Biennial, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. His sculptures explore the physicality of carved wood and the relationship between process and finished form, with reduction itself becoming an essential part of the artwork. This monumental example is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a museum caliber sculpture whose presence is equally suited to contemporary architecture, private collections, or gallery settings.
