David Hess, the Maryland sculptor whose work can be seen at The American Visionary Art Museum, and Johns Hopkins Hospital is known for his large, architectural sculptures. Reconstruction, his current exhibition at Goya Contemporary, is a scaled down version of his found object construction:
Artist David Hess, with Daniel Stuelpnagel
Hess exhibits infrequently, if you get a chance to go over to Goya, you really shouldn't miss it.
Matter, a show featuring new works by Ledelle Moe and Carol-anne Gainer is now on view at Area 405, through October 26th, 2008.
Moe's new work, two large-scale cement figures, is entitled "Erosion" and offers yet another look at time's effect on man-made monuments. Eerie, sad and other-worldly in their gallery setting, the figures invite you to examine the burden of the inevitable-albeit accelerated-losing battle of man versus the elements. It is truly impressive to see these statues in person (and if afterwards, you want to see more of Moe's work, not too far away, visit AU's Katzen Center)
Carol-anne Gainer's work, "Drawn," ranges in media from prints to sculpture and video. She brings together whimsical, delicate images in what seems like a suspended memory, perhaps working best in a particularly-pleasing smashed cat sculpture:
