PUNCTURE is the first solo exhibition by London based artist Abigail Brothers. Presenting a new body of sculptures and paintings Brothers probes at ideas of character and memory.
About
Through anthropomorphic forms, abject waxy dribs and stained sheets the works appear as if they have had a life before we encounter them. They give the impression that they have been excavated or pulled from an inhospitable terrain. These transformative shapeshifters engulf materials to fuse and take on new roles as the punctured and deflated tyres become extensions of limbs or tongues. The sprawling sculptures are self-exposed as they spew out waxy gunk, hair like fibres fray out and confront us with their unapologetic starkness whereby the viewer becomes self-reflective of their own presence and body.
