By the early 1960s, Camargo moved from the soapstone and bronze of his early work to the more pliable materials (sand, wood and plaster). Untitled (No. 3), 1965-66 is a beautiful minimalist triptych of Camargo’s now iconic white wall reliefs. In a calculating sensory experiment, the artist places two wooden-dowels of differing sizes and floats them at varying distances in each panel. Seen together the triptych is an exploration into subtle interplay of light, volume, tactility and logic.

The potential of the cut cylinder as an artistic trope was discovered by pure accident; one day when cutting an apple to eat, Camargo sliced off nearly half the fruit and then made another incision at a different angle to take a piece to eat. The two resulting planes constructed a simple interplay of light and shadow, which immediately caught the artist’s attention and provided the ultimate synthesis of what he had previously been working towards.
