The sculptor Steve Higgins generates a whirling\, apocalyptic and purely optical “anarchitecture” in his large charcoal drawings. In contrast to Higgins’ visionary handling of the motif\, the self-styled “classical machinist\,” John Macnab uses the spiral motion of a modified industrial lathe to inscribe “decaying mathematical functions onto spiralling surfaces.” Several of his conical columns are hollow-coopered or hand-built\, and have a distinctly erotic aura. \nOpening\nThere was a joint opening reception for the exhibitions Twisted and taboos\, titillations & thrills on Friday\, April 28.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16718″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
