Posted by
BEARSPACE on 31.08.07
BEARSPACE is proud to present the artist & sculptor Max Hymes in his first solo exhibition in London, following his successful solo exhibition in the ‘Glasgow Sculpture Studio,’ in May 2007. Hymes lives and works in the Hackney area of East London and has a unique, historically based yet fresh take on the ‘Object D’Art.’
Hymes sculptures are a montage of materials, design and objects. The work has a collected feel, standing as totems to diverse civilastions, they are stacked, often mounted on plinths or standing in installation with mirrors and screens. An array of diverse and eclectic materials sit together. Different types of wood have been crafted, fine beading is painstakingly applied, fine pieces of gold and silver metals boarder areas, often creating tescilised pattern work. Glittering pumpkins stand aloft beautifully created wooden objects, these sculptures stand as a tribute to craftsmanship and the obsessive hand of the artist.
