M.G. Kidwai - Artwork 264

A tall, roughly modeled head with pronounced gestural tool marks stands with a rugged, almost mask-like profile; the dark surface and vigorous texturing suggest an expressive approach focused on raw, tactile presence. The asymmetrical features and heavily worked planes create a sense of tension between figuration and abstraction. The work reads like an evocation of the human countenance distilled into elemental masses, the chiseled strokes and uneven silhouette emphasizing process and materiality.

Its sculptural energy lies in the visible trace of making, offering a powerful, introspective figure whose roughness is central to its expressive force.
