About the Item
Radiant Man (Crucifixion)
wood, found objects
19.5 x 35 in.
Radiant Man is both figure and icon—an abstracted form arranged with the gravity of ritual and the resonance of myth. A tall, frontal composition anchors a dark vertical body beneath a radiant white head, whose perimeter is framed by a halo of nails or spikes. The symmetry is deliberate, the posture unwavering.Inspired by the Crucifixion, the piece avoids literal representation. Instead, it distills the image of suffering and transcendence into a structure of contrasts: flesh and wood, light and dark, body and burden. The nail heads recall both radiance and violence, depending on the distance from which you look.The figure is still, but charged. It holds a presence that feels devotional without dogma—an object of reflection more than declaration. Radiant Man is not a crucifix; it is a witness.
Artist Statement
I work with materials that have already lived a life — steel that’s rusted, bent, scarred. These imperfections hold a kind of quiet beauty, one that speaks not of utility but of presence. Though my work sometimes carries figurative echoes, I’m drawn to the non-figurative: the essential, the raw. Steel, once loud and forceful in its industrial context, becomes still and intimate in this new form.Each composition emerges through direct interaction with found parts. I rarely alter the materials beyond what is necessary. Instead, I allow them to dictate form — interlocking, balancing, and aligning until their relationship feels complete. The process is intuitive, the engineering elemental.Art, for me, is a spiritual act — a practice of selflessness and stillness. It doesn't seek acclaim or commercial appeal. It simply exists, honest and sacred.
Biography
Scott Gordon (b. 1966, Ridgewood, NJ) lives and works in Vermont. He studied business at the University of Denver and earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. During his time in Seattle, he worked at David Gulassa Company, a fabrication shop specializing in custom furniture and architectural fixtures. There, he began sculpting with scrap metal salvaged from the studio and surrounding industrial zones — material that continues to define his practice.Gordon’s work reflects a deep respect for process, material memory, and the integrity of form. Influenced by artists such as David Smith, Anthony Caro, and Richard Stankiewicz, his sculptures explore the tension between strength and stillness, construction and poetry.
