Ridge II

Ridge II by Barclay Butera is a sculptural meditation on texture, form, and earth-bound simplicity. Bold, rhythmic ridges rise from the canvas in hand-sculpted layers, creating a tactile surface that feels grounded and architectural. The pattern is both structured and organic—reminiscent of striated rock, ploughed fields, or the erosion lines of weathered terrain. In this edition, the piece is rendered in a deep, moody charcoal grey, offering a cooler, more dramatic take on the original. The shadowy tone enhances the dimensional relief, allowing light to skim across the surface and reveal the intricacies of its hand-applied texture. Printed on quality natural canvas and finished with hand-painted detailing, Ridge II continues to blur the line between painting and relief sculpture—bringing quiet intensity, sculptural richness, and contemporary depth to the Boyd Art collection.
