Cashew Wood Sculpture on a podium (2000)

I would like to present a one-of-one sculpture that situates the body within a framework of monumentality and exposure. This unique sculpture is hand-carved from pure cashew wood and presents a bold yet refined representation of the male form, elevated on a podium. The work celebrates natural anatomy through sculptural balance and proportion, transforming a provocative subject into an object of contemplation and artistic presence. The wood is left entirely undyed, allowing the natural grain, warmth, and organic variations of the cashew wood to remain visible. A crystal-like finish enhances the surface, giving the sculpture a smooth, luminous quality while protecting the material and accentuating its natural depth and texture. Light reflects subtly across the contours, emphasizing both the craftsmanship and the inherent character of the wood. As a one-of-a-kind piece, this sculpture stands as a statement artwork—confident, expressive, and intentionally minimalist. Its dimensions give it strong visual impact while remaining suitable for display on a pedestal, shelf, or gallery plinth. Dimensions: · Length: 13 inches · Height: 11 inches · Width: 7 inches I am reaching out to share a singular sculptural work that engages with embodiment, elevation, and power through a restrained figurative form.
