CONRAD SHAWCROSS

Victoria Miro is pleased to announce a solo show of sculptures by Conrad Shawcross opening in the Wharf Road gallery on 10 June. An exhibition of new sculptures in steel and cast bronze by Conrad Shawcross, Inverted Spires and Descendent Folds will coincide with a monumental site-specific installation for the Annenberg Courtyard for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2015.

Considered “maquettes” – some for realised commissions, and others propositions for works on a monumental scale – this body of work focusses on two lines of enquiry: Shawcross’s ongoing explorations of the four-sided tetrahedron as a tessellating form in his Paradigm series, and the dynamic visual potential of harmonics in his Manifold works. Installed as a singular sculptural field, the works bear relationships to both architecture and the body, and elicit a subtle line between structure and nature, the metaphysical and the molecular.

The London-based artist has multiple projects taking place across the year: a permanent sculpture commission sited in Dulwich Park will be unveiled on 18 April with an accompanying display at the Dulwich Picture Gallery; the artist will have a solo exhibition at the New Art Centre, Roche Court opening on 23 May and in October his monumental 14 meter high sculpture Paradigm will be permanently installed outside The Francis Crick Institute in Kings Cross.
