Relic by Simon Probyn and Gavin Roweth, Steel, Portland Stone, Unique, 165cm high by 98cm wide by 50cm deep, Abstract sculpture
This piece by Simon Probyn and Gavin Roweth is a striking abstract sculpture that combines steel and Portland stone. Standing 165 cm high by 98 cm wide by 50 cm deep, this unique work commands presence while inviting close examination. The sculpture contrasts the warm, rusted tones of steel with the cool, pale surfaces of Portland stone, creating a dynamic interplay between materials.
The composition balances solidity and tension. The steel elements rise and intersect with the stone, drawing the eye upward and across the form. Meanwhile, the white Portland stone anchors the piece, providing stability and visual contrast. Together, the materials highlight both weight and lightness, as well as the interaction between natural and industrial elements.
Probyn and Roweth’s design emphasizes abstract form and texture. The rough, rusted steel juxtaposed against the smooth, pale stone surface creates visual rhythm and subtle movement. The sculpture encourages viewers to explore it from multiple angles, revealing new relationships between materials as the perspective shifts.
Relic engages with themes of endurance, transformation, and material dialogue. It appeals to collectors of contemporary sculpture, abstract forms, and mixed-media artworks. Whether displayed in a gallery, outdoor space, or private collection, the piece offers both striking aesthetic presence and contemplative depth. Ultimately, Relic exemplifies the creative synergy between steel and stone, delivering a timeless exploration of form, texture, and contrast.
