If you read our interview with Heather Cox, you know that her artwork plays with repetition, scale, and the human body. So we decided to look at some other artists that utilize these themes in their work. 

Lisa Nilsson, Angelico, 2012, mulberry paper, 19 x 22 x 1 1/2 inches.

In her Tissue Series, Lisa Nilsson uses intricately rolled and shaped strips of paper to form anatomical cross-sections. 

Her work emphasizes attention to detail and repetative motion, drawing on the intricacies of the human body to create a network of interlocking rolls of paper-made-organisms.

Lisa Nilsson, Profile, 2010, paper.

While Nilsson renegotiates the interior of the body, artistic duo Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector focus on the exterior.

Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector, Leda and the Swan, after Correggio.

Through an elaborate, time consuming process, Chadwick and Spector recreate famous works of art on the human body.

Chawick and Spector, Wedding Portrait.

Using Chadwick's often unrecognizable body as canvas, the reformatted artworks bring historical works into a contemporary context.

Chadwick and Spector, Montenegro Woman and Child, after Cermale

Chadwick and Spector, Cleopatra's Feast, after Jordeans

Check out more exciting works on Lisa Nilsson's and Chadwick and Spector's websites!

Now showing: Blue Curry, Untitled (car tire, beans)

  bluecurry.com

Time Equities Inc. is pleased to announce the newest exhibition at the West 10th Window: Blue Curry, Untitled (car tire, beans). The West 10th Window is the newest addition to the Art-In-Buildings program: an exhibition space located at 223-225 West 10th Street that exists solely as a storefront window, level with the sidewalk, completely unassuming, allowing artwork to be seen exclusively from the street.

Blue Curry works with found objects and commonplace items to create elegant sculptures and installations that challenge one’s associations with the objects in use, effectively misusing everyday objects to strip them of their socioeconomic position. They become the raw materials of his idiosyncratic cultural production. Often drawing on the exoticized image of his Caribbean birthplace, he creates precise combinations that float between the ethnographic find, the tourist souvenir, and the contemporary art form. His work considers notions of authenticity, cliché, and image.

Curry was born in Nassau, Bahamas and is currently based in London. He received his BA in Photography and Multimedia from the University of Westminster, London and his MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College in 2009. Curry’s work has been shown around the world in group exhibitions including, NEST, The Hague, Amsterdam; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; P.P.O.W., New York; and the 2010 Liverpool Biennial, among many others. His work has been featured in several solo shows including AF Projects, London; Toomer Labzda, New York. He had his first solo institutional show at Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden, Germany in 2011. In 2012, Curry was a resident at Omi International Arts Center.

Coming to W10W in 2013: Matt Chalker, Heather Cox, and Marilyn Minter.
