Black Cube

About Black Cube

Clean lines and bold palettes have become the signature of Calgary artist Alexander Caldwell’s stainless-steel sculptures. The contemporary form of this indoor piece—three square-shaped frames that intersect one another at different angles is inspired by geometry. The black matte finish is so flawless that it makes the joints appear seamless.

“… The colour that transforms the industrial origins of my materials has become so important to the simpler shapes of my new work that it’s as if the metal has become an armature for the paint. “ Alexander Caldwell
