Stephen J. Shanabrook "Licking Your Wounds"
Daneyal Mahmood Gallery
This event has ended.
Daneyal Mahmood announces a solo exhibition of new work by Stephen J Shanabrook. Known for his expression of beauty on the threshold of death and disaster, Shanabrook mixes an impressive array of materials - from chocolate, in his sculpture of a suicide bomber and his acclaimed Morgue Chocolates, to various melted plastic objects in his Lollipop series. Shanabrook gives a new and often disturbing meaning to substances otherwise associated with comfort and happiness - chocolate, toys and lollipops. The artist has created an innovative process of melting and pressing together ready-made plastic producing a fossilized still life of contemporary culture.
