L.A.
Louver is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work
by the British sculptor Richard Deacon, in association
with Matthew Perry. The exhibition will premiere a monumental
sculpture entitled Dead Leg, 2007. Made of twisted strips
of oak and stainless steel, Dead Leg stands 8 feet high,
spans 28 by 9 feet, and will dominate the first floor gallery.
The fluidity and grace that the artist brings to the work
is achieved through technically challenging torsions within
a marriage of two materials. The seemingly opposing natures
of the materials - organic versus man-made - is defied,
and their respective rigidity and strength united and re-formed
into an abstract, graceful and dynamic structure. The sculpture
will reorder the gallery environment by its presence as
a complex three-dimensional drawing in space. The exhibition
will also include a series of recent small-scale acrylic
and plaster wall forms, which will be installed in the
south gallery.
Following its presentation at L.A.
Louver Dead Leg, will be exhibited at the Portland
Art Museum, Oregon,
26 January - 17 May 2008.
