New sculpture by Stuart Quinn
About
Poised within the white-out of the Gone Tomorrow Gallery is Stewart Gough's sculptural musing on Bob Dylan's ambiguous Quinn the Eskimo; most popularly known as Manfred Man's #1 from 1968. A song charged with optimistic anticipation for the coming of a great Inuit figure; the embodiment of redemptive truth and indiscriminate, secular good.Stewart Gough makes sculpture from readily available plastic objects and components with a constructivist spirit; fixing dinner plates and food containers amongst drainpipes and machine parts.
Through deliberate use of size, scale, form, and graphical colour his works command presence, slipping between grounding utility and a fantastic flight through playful sculptural reference and architectural ideology.
