With Angel, Zura sculpts an ethereal figure in resin that feels both delicate and powerful. The piece offers a quiet tension—its form simple, yet imbued with an otherworldly stillness. It invites viewers into an intimate visual experience: a guardian spirit caught mid-contemplation, hovering between material and metaphysical realms.
Angel (2021) demonstrates Zura’s ability to convey depth through calm presence. It’s a quiet counterpoint to his bolder works—an intimate sculpture that lingers in memory with unexpected emotional gravity.
Concept & Interpretation
Rather than a triumphant celestial being, this Angel feels grounded—a protector and observer in vulnerable repose. The work explores themes of stillness, internal presence, and the paradox of resilience in fragility. It’s a moment of pause, frozen in light and form.
Context in Zura’s Practice
Part of a series spotlighted at Williamsburg’s exhibition venues and featured by Twelve Chairs Gallery, Angel follows Zura’s investigations into human and spiritual forms. While larger canvases and figurative sculptures anchor his 2025 works, this earlier piece reveals his nuanced approach: finding emotional power in simplicity and restraint.
