Carlos Bevilacqua and Jessica Mein Exhibition
Simon Preston Gallery
This event has ended.
For this exhibition, Bevilacqua will show a series of floor sculptures, hanging mobiles and wall works constructed from rudimentary materials such as wood, wire, glass and beads. From a background in architecture, which he studied in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro, his deceptively simple constructions emit a disciplined and rigorous logic. Precarious geometries exploring mass and distance evoke Renaissance models for exploration and astronomy while celebrating themes such as invention, musicality, science and religion. What at first appear to be modest experiments in material and form become complex assemblages exposing fragility and vulnerability through physical properties such as tension, gravity, balance and resistance.
