Dai Ban
Please Leave Us Alone (Abstract Minimalist Light Grey 3-D Wall Sculpture)

2020

About the Item

Abstract minimalist three-dimensional wall sculpture in light grey and black "Please Leave Us Alone" by Dai Ban, 2020 29 x 24 x 10 inches Precision board, Venetian Plaster, Beeswax, Pigment Lightweight sculpture (weighs about 5 lbs.) and hangs on the wall with a French cleat Excellent condition and ready to hang as is Signed, verso This contemporary, abstract horizontal wall sculpture is built from geometric planes of high density foam board, Venetian plaster, pigments, and beeswax. The Japanese born artist, Dai Ban, takes a more fluid approach to minimalist design by avoiding intentional thought and allowing the form to freely come into being from a “deep subconscious reservoir”. Beginning with a maquette, Ban experiments with angled foam board, constructing it into countless iterations until it appropriately captures ephemeral moments or feelings. After being distilled into something purely abstract, the sculptures’ sentimental nature is hinted at with titles like “Waiting for the Storm to Pass”, “Shy Little Brother”, or “Please Leave Us Alone”. This work has elegant, clean lines and lends a distinctly modern and dynamic aesthetic to any space. Artist Statement In my work now, the form comes first. I avoid intentional thoughts. What happens then seems to emerge from some deep subconscious reservoir: maybe from childhood, maybe from an unconscious feeling in the moment, maybe from something beyond this lifetime. I just let it come out until the form feels right. There is a sense of freedom from conscious deliberation. Then I engage in the conversations with my form and finish it without decorating but try to keep it pared down to what is essential. With hundreds of iterations of the same movements, the same strokes, I apply plaster compound to each surface until I find the right colors, the right shades, the right textures until everything is settled into place.
