Wood, metal wire, and enamel paint
20 x 22 inches (51 x 56 cm)
In Silly Head (2026), Studio 198 presents a playful yet considered sculptural work that explores line, balance, and the expressive potential of minimal form. Constructed from wood, metal wiring, and enamel elements, the piece exists delicately between drawing and object—where line escapes the page and occupies space.
Drawing influence from Alexander Calder, the work embraces a sense of lightness and movement. The suspended elements—eyes and lips—introduce colour and character, gently shifting with their environment, while the continuous wire outline defines a face with economy and wit. The surrounding wooden structure anchors the composition, creating a dialogue between stability and motion.
At 20 x 22 inches (51 x 56 cm), the scale is intimate yet impactful. The piece engages its space—casting subtle shadows and evolving as it moves, offering a slightly different experience from every angle.
This is a one-off original. There are no editions.
Created for collectors who appreciate sculptural playfulness with a refined sensibility, Silly Head balances humour with precision—where simplicity becomes expression.
A work of line. A work of levity.
