This piece is part of the Square Series that is a sub-set of Gilbert Boro's new Geometric Series includes three additional serieses: Tri-Quad, Boogie Woogie and Genesis. Boro notes, "Geometry is concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Current day geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity." Boro's evolution of ideas begins with the exploration of a simple geometric form, the square in Square Series, and moves to the combination of abstracted rectangular rhomboids and triangles in his Tri-Quad series. These works propelled Boro to create Boogie Woogie, an undulating linear dance, and finally to Genesis, an explosion of color emanating from a central core. Using mathematical geometry, Boro creates abstract forms from carefully scaled maquettes. The large outdoor works in the Geometric Series feature linear forms with subtle shifts in vibrant color that visually engage one's eye to move in and around each sculpture. Boro comments, "The works are defined both by negative spaces visually passing through physical space and the importance of scale in the development process." Geometric Series originated with the Square Series, an exploration of intersecting, tubular square planes. Boro believes, "The viewer looks for relationship. Sculptures in the Square Series are intended to be seen more than once."

Gilbert Boro is an abstract sculptor with a focus on the interplay of space, place, and form. In his work, he prefers formal clarity to ornamentality and he relies on variations of complementary elements, such as planes juxtaposed with curves. Boro materials include stone, steel, wood, aluminum, and plastics. Where appropriate, he will use computer-aided design to model the spatial relationships of his working drafts. The challenges and joys of creative activity are found in the visualization - as much as in the execution - of an idea. For Gilbert, working at sculpture is a compulsion not just a possibility. He believes that art doesn’t need to solve or interpret societal problems. Rather, the virtue of art is that it allows us to regain the creativity that we all had naturally as children. His approach engages with the entire process of sculpture, as he respects the history of figuration as well as the importance of the human form. His artistic process begins with the traditional practice of sketching and working out the form with maquettes. The specific scale of his sculptures is based on a consideration of sculpture as more than an object in space. It becomes a space in and of itself. Boro has received two traveling fellowships and held many visiting teaching positions. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and purchased by collectors, corporations and foundations in the US and Europe.
