Phyllida Barlow 23 April � 29 May 2010, Wednesday �� Saturday, 12 � 6pm Preview: Thursday 22 February 2010, 7 � 9pm
Studio Voltaire is pleased to announce a new large-scale commission by the British sculptor Phyllida Barlow, as well as a large number of recent drawings presented in the project studio. This exhibition coincides with the artist�s two-person show with Nairy Baghramain at The Serpentine Gallery (8 May �13 June 2010).
Barlow�s recent work emerges from a 40-year practice in which she questions the nature and role of the sculptural object in contemporary culture, utilising an extensive, fluid vocabulary and immense enthusiasm for engaging with the physical 'stuff' of the world. Barlow makes her work from a range of materials, such as tarpaulin, wooden pallets, cement, polystyrene, card, plaster and chicken wire, and after construction many are painted in industrial or synthetic colours. Although abstract, the sculptures have a strong sense of referencing existing objects, the relationship to the body and narrative.
