Siren II by Paul Riley, Stone, Wood, Unique, 135cm high, 37cm wide, 42cm deep, Abstract, Figurative, Male, Face, Men, People sculpture
This piece by Paul Riley is a unique stone and wood sculpture it explores balance, symmetry, and the dialogue between organic and abstract form.
The sculpture rises in a sequence of stacked shapes, each rounded or curved in its own way. These forms shift in scale and rhythm as they build upward, yet the composition remains perfectly mirrored on both sides. This symmetry gives the work a strong sense of order, while the natural textures of stone and wood add warmth and contrast.
Some shapes are smooth and flowing, while others contain deliberate cuts and hollowed spaces. These openings break the surface and create interplay between mass and void. Light passes through the carved holes, softening the weight of the structure and inviting the eye to travel through rather than simply around it.
The contrast between the earthy stone and the organic wood enriches the sculpture further. Together, they suggest a meeting of permanence and growth, solidity and life. The rising stack of shapes almost feels like a totem or a ritual object, something ancient yet modern.
With its mirrored balance and careful layering, Siren II captures both harmony and movement. Riley distils complex forms into a sculpture that feels timeless, anchored in material, yet open in interpretation. It is at once abstract and meditative, a work that invites reflection on nature, form, and the quiet elegance of symmetry.
