One of the leading galleries in London, the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea’s Sloane Square, London, is presenting an exhibition called The Shape Of Things To Come: New Sculpture.
The 20-artist-strong exhibit features the works of David Altmejd, John Baldessari, David Batchelor, Peter Buggenhout, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Matthew Brannon, Bjorn Dahlem, Folkert de Jong, Roger Hiorns, Martin Honert, Thomas Houseago, Joanna Malinowska, Kris Martin, Matthew Monahan, Dirk Skreber, Anselm Reyle, Sterling Ruby, David Thorpe Oscar Tuazon and Rebecca Warren.
The exhibit, running as from today through mid-October, features installations made using wood, foam, crystal, and even hair, from huge to miniature, dark to glowing bright, and stunningly pale to kaleidoscopic arrays of colour. The diversity of works provide real insight into the varying degrees of contemporary sculptural practice, with works exploring scale, the decay of our urban environment, and conceptions of the human figure itself.
