His “Broadway Shuffle” is the first exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on his sculpture, a practice that has engaged him for more than twenty years. Like his paintings, with their blocks and bands of sensuous, sometimes smoldering color, the sculptures also offer a daring distillation of color and geometric form.
