Delicately perched, one cube upon another, 'Cubi' is a very rare non-kinetic work from Tom Brewitz. With he stacked cube shapes and brushed finish, Brewitz pays homage to the great American sculptor, David Smith.

David Smith created contemporary sculptures in a set of work called the "Cubi Series" back in the 1950's and 1960's.

The Cubi Series was a massive body of monumental sized outdoor pieces. Smith extended up from the ground a precarious assembly of three dimensional geometric forms like cylinders, cubes and rectangular tubes in combination to create his extraordinary sculpture.

Brewitz fondness for Smith's work is revealed in the brushwork of many of his pieces. Here, with 'Cubi', he pays homage to David Smith's legacy of stainless steel geometric form creations.

Brewitz elaborates, "In creating this design I searched for the true essence of Smith's work. It's David Smith condensed or reduced reflecting with a minimalist approach."
