I Had the Landscape in My Arms

23 Feb-29 Mar 2018

Overview

osh Lilley is pleased to present I Had the Landscape in My Arms, a group exhibition of new international sculpture. The title of this show is abbreviated from Helen Frankenthaler: “I had the landscape in my arms as I painted it. I had the landscape in my mind and shoulder and wrist.” Formally and conceptually, the six artists in this exhibition employ aesthetics of compression, framing and encapsulation — of having the landscape in one’s arms, and squeezing it into form. Sculpture as paté, aspic, bundle, or jigsaw. A careful containment; some gentle pressure. With Holly Hendry, Anne Libby, Nevine Mahmoud, Sarah Pichlkostner, Annabeth Rosen, Kathleen Ryan.
