About the Item
Evocative figurative abstract sculpture of the head of a tribal creature by Nathaniel Sirles (American, b. 1954). Signed and dated "N. Sirles 1970" on the bottom. Sirles completed this piece at the age of 14.
Nathaniel Sirles (American, b. 1956) is an artist, sculptor, and poet from San Francisco. Sirles was highly active in the African American art scene in San Francisco at a young age. While still attending San Francisco Polytechnic High School, his art was displayed in prominent galleries, including a solo exhibition at BlackMan’s Art Gallery in San Francisco.
Artist’s statement (from BlackMan’s Art Gallery 1971 catalogue)
“The Gallery has shown me that Black people are creative, and that Black art is something beautiful, something to be proud of - reality representing the spirit of Black people here in America where we lie and experience the American nightmare, day by day. Black art is needed badly in Black homes. I spend most of my time working hard, creating the spirit of Black people, trying to get most of my work into Black homes.”
