"Food for Thought" Exhibition
Mallick Williams & Co
This event has ended.
Mallick Williams & Co. presents our first sculpture exhibition “Food for Though”, with works by Lindsey de Ovies. Sculpting this body of work since 2000, this exhibition marks the end of a turbulent process that the artist faced while growing into adulthood. Having experienced the common misconception that life miraculously falls into place the day one commits to career, marriage and family, de Ovies’ struggles manifest into a bounty of work.
The focus of the home structure and the disturbances that arise from within correlate with the holiday season. During this time common relationships assemble and indulge in judgement, stress and consumption. de Ovies sculptures exhibit the center of these gatherings: food. A source of life, the artist casts representations of provisions to define her coming of age - each titled with an adage she heard as a child. Though emerging from a lifetime of internal conflicts, de Ovies serves her work under humorous connotations.
Lindsey de Ovies (born 1957 Mobile, Alabama) is a self-taught sculptor currently residing in Paris, France. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, she moved to Paris in 1989 and began her career as an artist.
