Ilan Averbuch "Intimate Monuments"
This event has ended.
At Nancy Hoffman Gallery
Media: Drawing, Sculpture
To celebrate the opening of NHG’s new gallery, Averbuch created monumental works of wood, lead, steel, glass and stone that dialogue with the gallery’s 27-foot high ceiling, and shimmer under the natural light of clerestory windows. During the past three years while working on his pieces for this show, the artist also worked on several monumental public commission projects throughout this country and in Israel. Thus, the sculptures are infused with monumentality akin to public sculptures, which live between earth and sky, and transcend the issue of scale that must live within four walls. Titles like “Self Portrait,” “The Loneliness of Queen Hatshepsut” or “Diary,” suggest intimacy, though some of the works soar to thirteen feet in height. Smaller works in sculpture and drawing also investigate the quest for the monumental.
