BOAZ VAADIA: Sculpture

The cover of Boaz Vaadia: Sculpture features a detail of the sculpture Horse Relief. Stacked layers of slate fill the cover and the silhouette of a horse emerges from the layers.
Artist Boaz Vaadia leans against a white brick wall with his arms crossed and is surrounded by a collection of his human-figure stone sculptures.
An installation of Vaadia’s sculptures in the Grounds For Sculpture museum gallery is located along a glass wall.
Slabs of stone create the silhouettes of two human figures facing each other. One sits with a bent knee on a red boulder. The other stands with folded arms and one foot resting on the boulder.
Stacked slabs of slate create a wide cylindrical column. The silhouette of a mother standing with two children on either side of her emerges from the front of the column.
An installation titled Avram with Dog and Ten Lambs appears under a tree on a grassy bank next to a pond. The collection of figures is made of stacked bluestone and they are scattered about.
A sculpture of two silhouettes seated next to one another on a bench is titled Maakha and Rehavam and is built out of stacked bluestone.
Two human figures made of stacked slabs of bluestone sit on the ground facing away from each other with their backs against either side of a small boulder.
Seen in profile, a bust of a man constructed out of stacked bluestone slabs sits on the ground in front of a white brick wall.
Layers of bluestone slabs create the silhouettes of two human figures who face each other. One sits on a round boulder with a bent knee. The other stands with one foot resting on the boulder .
Stacked bluestone slabs form the silhouette of a grazing horse standing on a rectangular stone surface.

Boaz Vaadia, the internationally acclaimed sculptor, has amassed a prodigious body of work over his 40-year artistic career. With Boaz Vaadia: Sculpture, Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey, will present the first retrospective exhibition of his indoor and outdoor works, a comprehensive presentation of the artist’s journey from abstraction to figuration. Detailing 125 works installed in two buildings and around the 42-acre sculpture park, the exhibition’s color catalogue presents Vaadia’s ritualistic and highly personal early works, his later sculptures in stone, slate, and bronze, and his most recent explorations of the ancient genre of bas-relief. With the global recognition his art has received, he continues working at the edge, discovering new possibilities in the constantly shifting grounds of his sculpture. Boaz Vaadia: Sculpture is a celebration of the artist’s long and prolific career, and his unwavering advancement of his art.
