Real Fake, 2017 james gilbert
A hand-carved wooden sculpture constructed from interconnected anthropomorphic forms arranged into a compact vertical composition. Cylindrical and rounded volumes support a simplified head with carved facial features above an integrated base. The sculpture combines geometric structure with softly modeled transitions, producing a balanced silhouette that shifts as it is viewed from different angles. White paint and pigmented wax create a unified surface while allowing carved tool marks, subtle surface irregularities, and the hand-worked quality of the wood to remain visible.
