John Newman “Fit”
Tibor de Nagy Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition will comprise twelve new sculptures as well as a group of new drawings completed over the last two years. These very recent and often wildly colorful sculptures are somewhat larger than the tabletop-size sculptures for which he has been known for the past 20 years. The new group of work has been inspired by diverse subjects such as non-Euclidean geometry, tribal arts, Baroque art and architecture, and Japanese flower arranging, among others. The artist incorporates an array of materials from the traditional to the exotic. The materials include found objects and industrial “accidents” such as discarded extruded aluminum, and his various processes incorporate unusual techniques ranging from the hand-built to the computer generated.
