AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mark Sugar’s 2026 work titled "Baby don’t cry, Ancient sea" from the series "Small Children".
Unique piece

“Child don’t cry, Ancient sea” is a sculpture that blends fragility and myth. The gathered figure of the child, immersed in a deep blue and opaque black, seems to listen to an ancient sea: a place of memory, testing, and transformation. The oxidized surface and the golden traces evoke the passage of time, like a stone worn smooth by the waves. The work thus becomes a small human promontory, suspended between silence, resilience, and destiny.

Other works are present in various locations and private galleries in New York, London, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Paris, Hong Kong, Geneva, Lugano, Florence, Siena, Rome, Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Bergamo, and Brescia.
