Abstract
"The Big Wheel" is a striking outdoor sculpture housed within the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens at the PepsiCo headquarters in Purchase, New York. As part of a collection featuring works by renowned modern sculptors like Henry Moore and Alexander Calder, this piece exemplifies Abstract art through its dynamic form and bold presence. The artist skillfully employs a palette that suggests influences from Gouache-like layering, adding depth and texture. While reminiscent of Paper-like qualities in its delicate lines, the sculpture invites viewers to explore its expressive, non-representational Abstract design within a natural outdoor setting.
