About
Simon Le Ruez makes sculptures, installations and drawings which reflect on notions of escape, longing, desire and possible places sought in order to seek relief.Working with materials as varied as leather, pearls, copper, wax and artificial trees Le Ruez?s recent work conjures a sense of imagined yet dislocated landscapes that seemingly oscillate somewhere between utopian and uncertain identities. While these works contrive to suggest strange, dream like, destinations, they also assume a series of metaphorical complexities through the surprising contexts or settings within which Le Ruez places them.
