Jim Lambie

The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh

The exhibition includes his earliest sculptures, reassessing them in light of more recent work. Lambie makes its magic from relatively humble materials.


comunicato stampa

Scottish artist Jim Lambie is known for visually compelling, generous and beguiling work that attracts both popular and critical acclaim. His work makes its magic from relatively humble materials – tinfoil and coat hangers, jackets, mirrors, records, turntables, potato sacks, plastic bags and household paint.

This exhibition includes Lambie's earliest sculptures, reassessing them in light of more recent work. Zobop (1999), the multi-coloured floor piece that is the artist's best-known work, is joined both by early works such as The Kid with the Replaceable Head (1996), Roadie (1999) and a new enlarged version of Shaved Ice (2012/14) that turns the ground floor of the Gallery into a spectacular hall of mirrors. Bringing together two decades of sculpture, the exhibition offers the opportunity to trace the development of Lambie's exuberantly intelligent and visually arresting sculptural language.

The exhibition is part of Edinburgh Art Festival 2014 and GENERATION, a Scotland-wide celebration of the last 25 years of contemporary art.
