Artist’s Statement: This work integrates figurative form and works on the play of opposing positive and negative shapes completing human figures. Color is an integral element as it relates to emotion. This sculpture is inspired by the late ideas of Transpersonal psychology.

Artist’s Bio: Dan Peragine began carving stone in 1975. Monolithic stone carving became his paramount means of expression. His drawings and paintings are explorations for his three-dimensional works in stone, steel, bronze and mixed media sculptures. Today, surrealistic landscapes set the stage for Peragine to explore his plastic form and constructivist ideas influenced by early 20th century Modernist artists.
