Bear Standing in White

Sven Okafor

Created 17 July 2026 at 15:35

Loose, unhurried outlines conjure a large quadruped from almost nothing - a proposition that sits squarely in the lineage of Giacometti's reduction of animal form to bare presence. Okafor's blue trace holds the figure at the threshold of recognition, where the incomplete legs below the torso perform absence as structural argument rather than incompletion.
