This ca. 1965 abstract steel sculpture is reminiscent of Shinkichi Tajiri’s iconic "knot" motifs, reflecting themes of connection and tension. The interplay of looping and upright forms creates a sense of balance and movement, with the oxidized surface adding a raw, industrial texture. Measuring approximately 50 cm in height, the piece exudes a minimalist yet dynamic presence, evocative of mid-century European abstraction. The juxtaposition of solid and void invites contemplation of form and space, resonating with Tajiri’s explorations of universal symbols. This sculpture is a captivating artifact of 1960s modernism, blending structural precision with emotive abstraction, and is a testament to the enduring influence of sculptors who bridged cultural and artistic boundaries.
