KASPER PINCIS : PEKEE-NUEE-NUEE

8 Sep-20 Oct 2012

Dalla Rosa
London NW5 2QL

Overview

In his recent work Kasper Pincis has explored the possibility of translating some of his favourite themes from paper to three-dimensional pieces, experimenting with balsa wood and gesso to create works reminiscent of folkloristic artefacts. Pekee-Nuee-Nuee brings together the traditional art of scrimshaw (used by men at sea to carve and decorate whalebone, ivory, shells and other materials at hand) and the more austere typewriter art that has been distinctive of his practice since the beginning.
