Kadriye İnal’s ‘Patchwork’ Sculptures

Kadriye İnal’s “patchwork” paper sculptures capture humanity in both form and the imperfect, abstract beauty found in our seams. The artist's work has also been called collage, though she has said that it exists "somewhere between three and two dimensions, between reality and fiction."


Kadriye İnal’s “patchwork” paper sculptures capture humanity in both form and the imperfect, abstract beauty found in our seams. The artist’s work has also been called collage, though she has said that it exists “somewhere between three and two dimensions, between reality and fiction.”


“According to Kadriye İnal, because dreams are the symbolic language of the subconscious mind, they create a sincere world as a result of their direct nature,” a past statement says. “In a constant pursuit after this fact, the artist deals with the reality in a conscious environment of dreams. As İnal creates her compositions on the basis of the conjunction of the real and the fictive, she opens the free and colorful doors of the imaginary world to viewers. In addition to each sculpture having its own story, the show as a whole presents images that offer countless interpretations to viewers”

Melbourne, Australia based artist Alex Sanson began sculpting in the early 90s with a series of small, toy-like sculptures greatly inspired by Alexander Calder's circus, a pioneer of moving sculpture. Since then, Sanson's repertoire has developed to include both small scale and gigantic kinetic works, some interactive and activated by touch, others hand-operated. His wildly imaginative works have taken Calder's original output and brought to it a new sense of play and movement.
For years, Raúl de Nieves has blurred lines between fine art and fashion design, positioning himself as an inspiration for the likes of Vogue and Lady Gaga. He is perhaps best known for his beaded shoe-sculptures, crafted in a rainbow spectrum matched by his figurative painting. De Nieves makes his debut in Los Angeles tomorrow with "I'm in A Story", at MUSEUM as RETAIL SPACE (MaRS). Inspired by his native Mexican folklore, Catholic symbolism and fairytales, the exhibition loosely adapts two stories; Colin Self's chamber opera The Fool (which starred the artist) and the episode of Saint George and the Dragon.
The sculptures of Kim Won Geun depict underworld characters with unexpected vulnerability and humor. Often crafted in wood or epoxy resin and acrylics, these works range in size, yet have garnered fans across art fairs in handheld heights. The artist’s work recently turned heads at CONTEXT Art Miami in December.
Ellen Jewett’s handsculpted and handpainted “natural history surrealist sculptures” add surreal and sometimes-whimsical touches to wild creatures. Her recent works include the fantastical “the burden of motion and ambition” bear, which seems ripped from its own narrative, and the winged “"of illumination and empathy.” Jewett was last featured on cctvta.com here.
