Ron Arad Rod Gomli, 2009 Stainless steel and bronze 242 x 100 x 121 cm 95 1/4 x 39 3/8 x 47 5/8 inches Editon of 3 Artist, designer, sculptor and architect, Ron Arad obfuscates the boundaries between art and design. Rod Gomli is a continuation of Arad’s ever-evolving re-invention of the chair. This imposing and impressive figurative sculptural piece is loosely named after artist Antony Gormley, but spelled differently. The sculpture itself is based on the human figure, featuring a negative impression of an invisible sitter, the ‘everyman’. This jewel-like sculpture is composed of individually polished stainless steel rods that shimmer as the weighted sculpture rocks and the light shifts, revealing subtle gradations of colour.
