“Giraffe” – a work by American sculptor Joël Urruty. Joel Urruty began his career as a classically trained furniture maker before turning his focus toward sculpture. The artist’s body of work demonstrates a deep respect for material, process, and precision.
The work features three elongated, curvilinear giraffe figures comprised of dynamic, alternating fields of black and white. The gestural, figurative giraffe forms are supported and juxtaposed by a stacked architectural, geometric base.
