RARE is pleased to present Hidden Driveway, Johnston Foster's sixth one-person exhibition (in twelve years) at the gallery. The artist's new floor and wall sculptures are emblematic of his creative process of scavenging for discarded materials and tinkering with them as they take shape organically.
Foster has always let his materials - massive amounts of junk that he collects and inventories - govern the visual characteristics of his sculptures. He allows the materials to "speak" to him as he manipulates, bends, and distorts them. While the development of his subject matter is guided by this loose process of experimentation and invention, the conceptual underpinning of Foster's oeuvre is based on his concern over man’s disregard for the environment.
Opening night reception on Thursday 28th, 6-9pm @Rare Gallery
