Alain Kirili Works on Clay Maquettes for Résistance in New York Studio

Alain Kirili was photographed in his New York studio with clay maquettes representing elements of his work Résistance. The image was posted on artcritical on May 8, 2011. Kirili, a French-born sculptor known for abstract forms and direct carving techniques, created these preparatory models. His studio in New York served as the location where these maquettes were developed. The artist's practice often involves working with materials like iron, stone, and clay to explore themes of energy and resistance. This documentation provides insight into his creative process during that period. Kirili's work has been exhibited internationally, with Résistance being part of his exploration of monumental sculpture. The maquettes shown are small-scale studies for larger pieces.
