Jan Vogelpoel — 'Sentinel in Warm White' Sculpture, 2024

These valiant, monolithic forms possess power and resoluteness. A quiet determination upholds their enigmatic nature - anchored and unwavering. A central axis creates structure and a solid foundation to empower more fluid and free forms to emerge. Textured layers add depth and a sense of movement, while the voids introduce a lightness to their fortitude and solidity.
