The Royal Academy of Arts in London has unveiled a new large-scale artwork by the revered American artist Frank Stella.

The 7-meter tall sculpture, titled "Inflated Star and Wooden Star" (2014), is made of aluminum and teak wood. The contrasting materials create a sense of tension, as if the elements of the work are simultaneously repelled and attracted to each other, trapped in an invisible force field.

"Inflated Star and Wooden Star," which is being shown in the UK for the first time, is on display at the Academy's Annenberg Courtyard, where it will remain until May 17.
