JIM LAMBIE – LIQUID HEAD: BODY AND SOUL
2023-12-18In Liquid Head: Body and Soul, Lambie presents a variety of new works including five individual and two multi-panel Metal Box sculptures made from conjoined aluminum and polished steel panels; a lens-sculpture made with found sunglass lenses that are fused together using traditional stained glass techniques and solder materials; a mattress fully covered in a vast range of sewn-on buttons; a modified guitar amp bearing the title of the show Liquid Head; three Psychedelic Soulsticks, bamboo canes covered in multicolored yarn and concealing secret objects of the artist’s choice, each one combined with a painted panel made my transferring deep-hued make-up from the artist’s body onto canvas, a new process Lambie puts to use. All this is embedded in an enormous, all-encompassing vinyl floor and staircase installation in silver chrome called The Strokes.
