SCULPTURE

Alan Wolfson

Alan Wolfson creates handmade miniature sculptures of urban environments. Complete with complex interior views and lighting effects. There is a narrative element to the work. Scenarios are played out through the use of inanimate objects in the scene. There are never people present, only things they have left behind; garbage, graffiti, or a tip on a diner table, all give the work a sense of motion and a storyline.
Key words: Miniature - Urban - Set - Scene - Narrative - City - Inside - America - Detail - Empty

I have always loved maps. The process of investigating and visualising topographies, natural forms and landscapes, and then producing them in a form which captures their essence is endlessly fascinating and satisfying. This desire to ‘map’ is at the core of my work, whether it be the internal architecture of the human head or the physical geography of the planet. Peeling back the layers to expose the hidden natural world is a recurring theme, in this context I have appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity to work with scientists in every conceivable discipline, from radiologists and botanists, to engineers specialising in bio-fluidics, to dust-mite and spider experts, veterinary scientists, paediatric dentists and specialists in ancient Egyptian dyes.
Key words: Maps - Anatomy - Natural Forms - Glass - Layers - Drawing - Human - Internal - Cross-Section                images by Richard Holttum and Todd White

Antony Gormley


Arran Gregory

Arran Gregory is widely acclaimed for his geometric sculptures and experimental depictions of the natural world. His experiments are a curious visual insight into Man’s relationship to nature and the emotions it provokes within us as humans. Often visually recomposing wild animals, his work focuses on reduction, playing with shape, form and colour (or lack of).
Key words: Animals - Reflection - Taxidermy - Hunting - Power - Nature - Evolution

Bo Christian Larsson

Swedish artist Bo Christian Larsson has a knack for transforming everyday objects into inspiring works of art that think outside the box. Ranging from collage to drawings to installation and sculpture, his works evoke folklore and mythology, and bring new meaning to disused furniture, knick knacks, luggage and other objects that have long since been forgotten by their original owners.
Key words: Home - Travel - Suitcase - Old - Belongings - Miniature - Space - Location - Childhood

David Mach

Scottish artist David Mach has been referred to as an “artist of excess” who uses unassuming objects such as magazines, match heads, and even coathangers to construct large-scale icons from pop culture, animals, and even religious figures. His latest works are a particularly vicious pair of cats, a cheetah and tiger constructed using his distinct method of layering hundreds of clipped wire coathangers. 
Key words: Movement - Energy - Sound - Metal - Animals - Emotion - Wire - BLur

Do Ho Suh


Erwin Wurm


Federico Carabajal

An exploration into the boundaries of space: volume, surface and line; of the immaterial form and its perception – its structure and deconstruction. A deep look at the human body, its anatomy and the appropriation of its symbols.
Key words: Space - Anatomy - Volume - Wire - Structure - Fragile - Death - Life - Symbolism - Humanity

Hervé Bohnert, the excoriation of death
Hervé Bohnert is an artist who works with the many faces of death: from history (art and culture), from the immediate environnement and also from the word of today, highlighting death, but also including rituals from the traditions of other cultures. Germain Roesz

Jessica Drenk

Drenk says “By transforming familiar objects into nature-inspired forms and patterns, I examine how we classify the world around us. Manufactured goods appear as natural objects, something functional becomes something decorative, a simple material is made complex, and the commonplace becomes unique.” Her pencil sculptures look like they were made through natural processes such as the weathering of wind or the erosion of water. The pencils are set in a matrix resembling honeycomb or insect-hollowed logs. Drenk brings the carefully crafted pencil back to the earth by considering its composition as a set of natural materials manipulated by humans.
Key words: Pencil - Nature - Wood - Weathered - Erosion - Materials - Everyday - Man-made - Familiar

Jessica Stockholder


Jiri Geller

Like an anarchist who has studied every stitch and fold of the banker's suit, Jiri Geller models and subverts the iconic forms of contemporary culture with vengeful precision. While never repeating himself, Geller targets the same territory again and again to explore the idea that what in our modern world is deemed solid, permanent and valuable is in fact melting, suspect, and utterly transitory.
Key words: Iconic - Culture - Death - Fashion - Wealth - Temporary - Permanent - Religion - Deity

Juliana Cerqueira Leite

Juliana Cerqueira Leite is a Brazilian artist based in Brooklyn. Monumental or delicately proportioned her works are often made from the inside, having been inhabited by the artist's body. These forms investigate how time and physical action is captured in matter as shape. Leite aims to reveal new shapes while mining the history of representations of the body, taking this recognizable form to the edge of abstraction. The objects, drawings, photography, performance and video work that make up Leite's practice are process-led, continually revealing their past engagement with the artists' body. Emerging from an interest in how tactile, temporal and spatial physical experience is stored in memory and the mental body-map, her work is determined by specific action-schemes, repetitive choreography and a curiosity about the behavior of materials.

Khalil Chishtee

Khalil Chishtee uses loads of plastic bags to create textures sculptures which take on a bizarre life of their own. Chishtee's trash bag creations resemble a mix of a Giacometti sculpture, a form from Body Worlds and, perhaps, a mythical swamp creature. Ranging from playful to haunting, Chishtee's plastic bag army make us excited to recycle, reuse and renew. 
Key words: Plastic - Texture - Figures - Rubbish - Recycle - Body - White - Movement

Leonardo Drew

Leonardo Drew is known for his dynamic large-scale sculptural installations. On the one hand, Drew’s sculptures can be seen as exercises in formalism rooted in the very experience of looking. On the other hand, these works explore memory by employing a wide range of material to evoke common elements of the human experience and of our diverse histories.
Key words: Wood - Metal - Fabric - Collection - Scale - Pattern - Material - History - Form - Aesthetics - Memory

Livia Marin 

Marin finely sculpts everyday objects – cups, bowls jars and plates – modeled with ruptures, splits and crevices. The fractures represent fatality and loss, but in repairing and keeping the object she stresses the relationship of care and continuation. Surreality and repetition are important procedures in the artist's work, creating a mechanization of the intimate relationship we have with objects of everyday use.
Key words: Everyday - Melt - Domestic - Surreal - Fracture - Spill - Pattern - Broken

Luka Fineisen 

A curious perspective of shiny, transparent spheres, all lined up on the floor with an illusion of a giant brocade of bubbles settling down. These bubbles are sculptures made out of transparent, shiny materials that evoke the luminescence of the familiar bubbles we as children used to play. However, Fineisen was able to incorporate the fast popping memory into something still and lasting with this sculpture. As part of her Phase Transition series, she is able to provide a lingering nostalgia from something that easily drifts away. thus, the joy of the fun does not flutter in a second, and one could find amusement at these colorful spheres laying on the floor.
Key words: Bubbles - Temporary - Fragile - Childhood - Air - Nostalgia - Joy - Forms - Transparent

Mark Jenkins

An artist who installs sculptures of people in unusual positions and often appearing in danger has sparked numerous members of the public to panic - and call for emergency services. Mark Jenkins' models of people lying in the street or on rooftops and in rivers have led to worried calls to police, paramedics and firefighters.
Key words: People - Strange - Shock - Tape - Fake - Headless - Street - Public - Trapped - Surreal - Buildings

Michael Janis

Using crushed glass powder melted into layers of glass, I can create narrative imagery suspended within a slab of glass.Social, political, and introspective psychological dramas are played out within in layers of glass, and in the process of creating I learn more about myself, and search for insight into what motivated those around me. My work is figurative. It is accessible and facilitates communication. It’s an understandable language, and like dance, a narrative is created without words.

"Geometry is the theme on which nature plays her infinite variations, fundamental mathematical principles become a kind of pattern book from which nature constructs the most complex and sophisticated structures.”  Peter Randall-Page

Rachel Whiteread


Ralf Westerhof

What you see are sculptures, three dimensional drawings in iron wire. Often Westerhof uses just one piece of wire as a 3D continuous line drawing. The one line captures the space within, as our minds instantly use the line to divide the space and fill in the image where needed. These are kinetic sculptures that are allowed to spin while a projected light casts their moving shadows onto the gallery wall.
Key words: Kinetic - Wire - Drawing - Line - Movement - Shadow - Portrait - Space

Roos Gomperts

Roos Gomperts intuitively searches for the light-hearted, hidden humour in every material and medium she works with. She gives space to the natural behaviour of materials, while she is looking for contrasts in shape, colour and material.
Key words: Shape - Foam - Glass - Colour - Contrast - Material - Texture 

Sarah Braman


Sasha Meret

My recent work has evolved in the space of sculptural constructions using polystyrene cutlery as modules to reconstruct familiar objects, and later to create intriguing and thought provoking new shapes that defy any familiar category. I take refuge in "The Plastic Menagerie" that I have created seeking at the same time harmony and surprise. A quote from Schopenhauer sums up my intentions in this series of works: "...here we contemplate perfection of form without any kind of worldly agenda, and thus any intrusion of utility or politics would ruin the point of the beauty".
Key words: Plastic - Cutlery - Nails - White - Shape - Beauty - Texture - Transform - Alien

Shen Shaomin

“Today what we feel and know as Nature has become something artificial, technical, and sociological. Men are fabricating an artificial world of their own according to their personal interests. The biological world is no exception; the strangest place of the future world will be none other than the ‘biological factory.’ In this place, men will be utilizing their adept skills and methods to produce DNA, to nurture new biological species, creatures that will either be manufactured or implanted.” - Shen Shaomin

Tonico Lemos Auad

Auad disregards material value to create lyrical, often transient forms using a wide range of materials, from the ephemeral and everyday to the precious and enduring. Notions of luck, chance and the supernatural pervade Auad¹s work. But beyond playfulness his work resonates with a darker underbelly of existence. For Auad an awareness of death and the brevity of life are always near at hand.
Key words: Humour - Everyday - Objects - Fruit - Playful - Voodoo - Life - Existence - Value
