Gymnast Tower Sculpture, Small Nickel

A slender tower of nickel-finished aluminum rises thirty-four inches, its stacked figures caught in perpetual, weightless motion — each form folding and extending into the next with the discipline of a studied composition. The cool, luminous surface holds light in the manner of fine metalwork, shifting subtly as the eye travels upward through the sculpture's vertical rhythm. Scaled for a console, a library shelf, or any surface that welcomes a quiet moment of figurative art, this piece by John Richard brings an athletic grace to the interior without ever announcing itself too loudly.
