Simon Hodgson
BRONZE & STEEL
13 July “ 7 August
Simon Hodgson’s sculptures are about space and how we inhabit and negotiate the world we live in. Simon’s new abstract sculptures turn introspective. Retaining the skeletal quality of his earlier works the sculptures are drawn out with a more complex, sophisticated use of line. More austere in their articulation, the surface still retains enough of the artist’s hand to reveal what is human about the work. Scaled to the domestic “ the sculptures emphasize our relationship to functional space, the things we use. Rather than a bodily encounter – the experience is one of the familiar, of being with everyday commonplace objects
