$0.00

April 1989. Granite, steel, found object. Dimensions: 103 × 29 × 22 in (262 × 74 × 56 cm).

Kouros statues are iconic Archaic Greek sculptures (c. 615–460 BC) representing nude male youths, serving as votive offerings to gods or grave markers for elite individuals. Influenced by Egyptian art, they feature a rigid, frontal pose with one foot forward and stylized hair. These figures symbolize idealized youth, strength, and aristocratic honor rather than realistic portraits.
