George Smith

Return to Diankabou, 2007, steel & enamel on wood, 3.5 x 12 2/3 x 22 1/12 ft. Consisting of 32 individual elements or parts, George Smith™s most recent work is a sculpture that is militarily both defensive and offensive. Each of the individual elements is shield-like and bears scarifications. Reflecting the strategic formations of the battlefield, the sculpture is a maze of vector-like movement that has no entrance, and thus conveys the unmanageable essence of war. The influence of Dogon art and architecture is evident in the geometry of the sculpture, but on another level, the work is a monument that bridges African-American spirituality and its African origins.
