About the Item

Toro welded steel, found objects 14 x 36 x 12 in. Inspired by Picasso’s iconic Bull's Head, Scott Gordon’s Toro distills the figure of the bull into a minimal, sculptural gesture. A broad, upward-reaching form suggests the animal’s horns or shoulders, balanced atop a single angular support that evokes poise and tension. The composition is stripped of detail, yet unmistakably bovine in posture—grounded, alert, and powerful.Rather than mimicry, Toro offers a studied abstraction: a bull rendered through structure, proportion, and stance. Its form is quiet but commanding—an homage to animal strength, restraint, and the enduring influence of modernist simplification. Artist Statement I work with materials that have already lived a life — steel that’s rusted, bent, scarred. These imperfections hold a kind of quiet beauty, one that speaks not of utility but of presence. Though my work sometimes carries figurative echoes, I’m drawn to the non-figurative: the essential, the raw. Steel, once loud and forceful in its industrial context, becomes still and intimate in this new form.Each composition emerges through direct interaction with found parts. I rarely alter the materials beyond what is necessary. Instead, I allow them to dictate form — interlocking, balancing, and aligning until their relationship feels complete. The process is intuitive, the engineering elemental.Art, for me, is a spiritual act — a practice of selflessness and stillness. It doesn't seek acclaim or commercial appeal. It simply exists, honest and sacred. Biography Scott Gordon (b. 1966, Ridgewood, NJ) lives and works in Vermont. He studied business at the University of Denver and earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. During his time in Seattle, he worked at David Gulassa Company, a fabrication shop specializing in custom furniture and architectural fixtures. There, he began sculpting with scrap metal salvaged from the studio and surrounding industrial zones — material that continues to define his practice.Gordon’s work reflects a deep respect for process, material memory, and the integrity of form. Influenced by artists such as David Smith, Anthony Caro, and Richard Stankiewicz, his sculptures explore the tension between strength and stillness, construction and poetry.
