Challenging the expectations of sculpture since the 1970s, Alison Wilding OBE RA blends diverse materials, techniques and forms to explore contrasts such as containment and concealment, stability and instability and the tension between a material’s assumed qualities and her manipulations. Fascinated by sculpture’s environmental context, she considers how her works fit into the world, emphasising the dynamic relationship between object and audience.
Wilding’s sculptures resist casual observation, instead they demand focused engagement. Their physical expressiveness invites viewers to move around them, fostering a dialogue where subject and object intertwine. Darkness and light, visibility and invisibility, and mobility and entrapment are central to her practice, creating works that challenge and captivate.
Enjoy a drink on us and an unforgettable evening with one of contemporary art's greats.
