Ted Lawson’s body of work develops a multi-layered system of sculptural meanings that treats all of his subjects and objects as visual language, by connecting them in an evocative way. In an interview, Lawson declared that he is concerned with portraiture in sculpture “as a range of physical possibilities, rather than as a frozen moment in time.” The elastic notion of time and the ways in which it affects the viewer, physically and emotionally, resides at the core of this artist’s creative imagination.
CRUDE will feature the latest creations of the artist, inaugurating a black series of works, whose size and setting place them at the border between sculpture and installation. The title alludes to basic elements and primary materials, such as black crude oil before it is refined.
One of the pieces, all in black, shows a life-size female figure levitating, defying gravity and simultaneously dissolving. The black color can operate as a symbol of death or simply as a base material; the crude energy which we all derive from. The female body is accompanied by small star-shaped solids – representing the realm of the underlying, yet unseen structures of the universe, creating a surreal atmosphere. Other found objects: a crushed acetone can, a piece of broken pipe, and human bones are integrated in the work, signifying the process of discarding; it is about “what we discard – in our mind, in our life, including ourselves”, confesses the artist.
Exhibition runs through to June 23rd, 2013

Craig Fineman started documenting the thriving late ’70s skate and surf scene, fusing action sports with fine art photography. Showcasing a strong sense for proportion and unique angles, his photos did not only capture the essence of surfing and skateboarding but also emitted a strong architectural aesthetic, resulting in a groundbreaking body of work that was truly ahead of its time.
Following the release of Fineman’s monograph “POOLS” made in collaboration by Stussy and Dashwood Books, the streetwear brand has now dropped a mini collection of four T-shirts emblazoned with Fineman’s amazing photography.
