The Spados Statue reduces a face to its essentials: a shield-shaped head tapering to a narrow chin, marked only by a slender vertical nose and a short horizontal mouth. Hand-cast in metal with a dark bronze finish, its granular surface and softened edges give the figure an aged, almost archaeological character that recalls Cycladic sculpture.
The face rests on its tapered point atop a tall block of polished white Carrara marble, with the dark metal set sharply against the pale stone. A felted bottom protects the surface below. On a mantel in the living room, a bookshelf in the study, or a side table in the bedroom, the Spados Statue brings a quiet, sculptural gravity to the space.
