Sonja Roesch, Houston
Starting with a coil of spiraling bent steel pipes, Clement diligently, but playfully, cuts, bends, joins, and welds the pipes into different interweaving and interconnecting arrangements. The curved form is classical and, though made out of a man-made material, organic.
The Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to announce an
exhibition featuring work by New York City-based artist John Clement.
The exhibition will open September 13th and close on November 1st,
2008.
Starting with a coil of spiraling bent steel pipes, Clement
diligently, but playfully, cuts, bends, joins, and welds the pipes
into different interweaving and interconnecting arrangements. At once
an ordinary industrial material is transformed into a whimsical and
monumental line drawing in space. The curved form is classical and,
though made out of a man-made material, organic. Gravity defying in
appearance, these sculptures are grounded both physically and
traditionally.
Referencing time and space, John Clement's sculptures are painted in
vibrant, primary colors creating a child-like playfulness in a world
filled with imagination, hope and potential. Despite the large scale
and solidity of his medium, Clement's work celebrates the joy of
movement and the rediscovery of space while altering our view of the
surrounding landscape.
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 13th, 2008, 5-7pm
