Andy Coolquitt Exhibition
Lisa Cooley Fine Art
This event has ended.
Andy Coolquitt’s long history of making work that distorts the viewer’s relationship with domestic surroundings continues with these new sculptures about energy sources, bricolage and inspiration.
Light bulbs, lighters, bottles of booze and sculpted rude gestures cap the ends of poles made from broom handles, discarded metal pipes, drinking straws and other elements of humble origin. The mostly linear sculptures lean against the wall, hang from the ceiling or lazily arch through the exhibition space. The works play with ideas of balance, support and fragility. Several of the sculptures physically rest on the light bulbs themselves, or else a single, tiny point supports a mass that seems too tall, too heavy. An elegant sense of color and proportion contrasts with the rough patina of Coolquitt’s materials.
