Visionary sculptor and painter was born 1890.

Gabo believed in the power of art to communicate across social and cultural boundaries. A pioneer of international Constructivism, he created work responding to the ideas, materials and technologies of the 20th century. A method known as 'stereometric construction' was central to Gabo's work, by which form was achieved through the description of space rather than the establishment of mass.

In 1920, Gabo declared: 'we take four planes and we construct with them the same volume as of four tons of mass.' In 1915-20 Gabo used this law to construct heads and figures that demonstrated this. 'Head No.2', seen here, was shown at Tate St Ives in Gabo's major exhibition in 2020. https://bit.ly/3J9JpoK
