Anthropose by John Procario and Alex Roskin, 2024

Exhibited at DESIGN MIAMI.LA.

On view in the gallery, Anthropose, the unique collaborative sculpture created by John Procario and Alex Roskin commands attention with its monumental presence and intricate craftsmanship. Measuring over 7 feet tall, this large-scale sculpture is a harmonious fusion of wood, bronze, and LED technology, marrying Procario's expertise in freeform bent wood with Roskin's mastery of curvilinear bronze sculptural furniture. Named "Anthropose," the sculpture encapsulates its essence through its evocative title, which derives from the Greek roots "anthropos" (human) and "pose" (stance). Symbolizing the convergence of human form and artistic expression, the name aptly embodies the central thematic motif of the piece - a human-like stance that resonates throughout its composition, inviting viewers to discern subtle echoes of human movement and gesture within its curvilinear contours.
