The artwork, titled “Blazing Saddles,” was created by artist Phil Sims in 2003. This work falls under the sculpture genre.
In the sculpture, we observe a tall, vertically oriented structure composed of various rectangular and square forms, creating a layered and fragmented appearance. At the top of the sculpture rests a red box that appears to be labeled with “Cambodian” and other text, lending a contrasting color to the primarily dark tones of the lower segments. Affixed to the front of the piece is a framed image or photograph, introducing an additional visual element to the creation. The overall aesthetic of the sculpture suggests a mix of abstract and industrial influences, inviting viewers to contemplate its composition and meaning.
