SCULPTURE | GREG BROTHERTON

Solid, cumbersome and cold to the touch, sculpture has a tendency to lack refinement and adventure in it’s subject matter. We can all appreciate now that art is less about be exacting and more about interpretation. I want sculpture to be delicate and inviting. I want sculpture to be like GREG BROTHERTON does sculpture. Working with hammer-formed steel and re-purposed objects, his themes tend to be mythological in nature, revealed through a dystopian view of pop culture.

Inspired by human curiosity and the wonderful mechanisms curiosity drives, the forms I present emerge from a disordered mechanical history, often revealed through a dystopian lens.

I want to interact with his work. To walk around it and view the exacting detail and refinement within. His work is ripe for stop motion. They are characters with personality and a story to tell. I love the mechanisms, The pop references and exaggerations in proportion and form. Creepy and menacing perhaps but all the more attractive for it.

An incredible artist and craftsman, Greg proves that sculpture doesn’t have to be so industrial in scale and heavy in stock in order to influence and arrest an audience. More power.
