  • ARTIST'S BIO -
    Douglas Abdell's early work impresses the viewer with its monolithic character as well as its unusual titling. Following the award of his BFA from Syracuse University in 1970, Abdell earned national recognition with the Kryads. The tripodal character of this series was described by Abdell as "three long forms leading up to a central mass, with one long form emanating from that mass." Although Abdell often saw the Aekyads as a development from his experimentation with the Kryads, the latter lacks the monolithic proportions of the former. In this manner, the Aekyads share more characteristics with minimalist sculpture, particularly the work of Tony Smith (1912-81). However, Abdell's enigmatic titles, with their inference to latent meaning, offer comparison to Abstract Expressionist sculpture.
