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.
