Red King by Martin Scorey, Metal, Wood, Unique, 150cm high by 33cm wide by 20cm deep, Body, Figurative, Humorous, Male, Men, People, Tribal sculpture
This piece by Martin Scorey is a unique figurative sculpture crafted from wood and metal, measuring 150 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. This striking vertical piece captures a tribal-inspired male figure, blending expressive form, bold coloration, and playful humour to create a work that commands attention and sparks conversation.
The sculpture depicts a male face rendered in vivid red hues, accented with carefully applied metal elements. These accents highlight the contours of the face and introduce visual contrast, emphasizing both strength and character. Scorey balances abstraction and figurative representation, giving the figure a presence that feels simultaneously ceremonial, whimsical, and grounded in tribal aesthetic traditions.
Through elongated forms, patterned surfaces, and sculptural rhythm, Red King conveys vitality, personality, and storytelling. The interplay of wood and metal enhances depth, dimension, and tactile appeal, while the vertical composition draws the eye upward, reinforcing the sense of stature and importance inherent in the work’s title. As a result, the sculpture functions as both a decorative centrepiece and a study of identity, human expression, and cultural symbolism.
Rooted in contemporary tribal-inspired sculpture, Red King is ideal for collectors of figurative wooden art, tribal artworks, and playful yet powerful sculptures. Its bold coloration, confident craftsmanship, and commanding scale make it a memorable addition to gallery exhibitions, private collections, or interior displays, celebrating both artistic creativity and the dynamic spirit of the human figure.
