Band III by Jonathan Loxley, Marble , Stone, Unique, 200cm high by 60cm wide by 14cm deep, Available

Band III by Jonathan Loxley stands 200 centimetres high, 60 centimetres wide, and 14 centimetres deep, presenting a commanding abstract sculpture carved from marble. The piece depicts a continuous band that twists and wraps into a rectangular void, creating a dialogue between solid form and open space. Rather than relying on literal representation, Loxley explores the interplay of volume, line, and negative space, transforming stone into a study of rhythm, balance, and geometric elegance.

The sculpture’s curves and angles guide the eye along its surface. From one perspective, the band appears to fold gracefully, echoing movement and fluidity, while from another, it emphasizes strength and structural precision. The rectangular void at the centre functions as both absence and presence, framing light and shadow, and allowing the surrounding environment to become part of the composition. As viewers move around the work, the interaction of solid marble and empty space shifts, revealing subtle changes in form, proportion, and visual weight.

Loxley’s choice of marble enhances the sculpture’s tactile and visual qualities. Its smooth, cool surface invites touch, while natural veins in the stone add complexity and organic variation that contrast with the geometry of the band. The result is a harmonious balance between material, form, and concept, merging abstraction with a sense of calm permanence.
