Standing Figure is a wonderfully minimalist creation. With a few deft touches of a rasp and file, Kavik has created a rustic abstract figure that might have stepped out of one of his drawings. It takes little more than the fingers of two hands to count the number of strokes he took to create head, face, arms and legs. Barely an inch thick, the sculpture is the equivalent of one of Andy Miki’s famous “cookie-cutter” animals - and it stands perfectly balanced. Quintessentially Kavik. We love it!
