EXHIBITION

Bad Brickwork

WORKS|PROJECTS, 03/28/2014 - 05/10/2014

ABOUT

Over the past decade Richard Woods has built an international reputation for his signature architectural transformations, paintings and sculpture that fold the history of the decorative arts, functional design and graphic language into intoxicatingly witty plays with image and surface.

For his third solo exhibition at WORKS|PROJECTS, Woods will fill the gallery with Bad Brickwork. Woods’ beautifully simple new sculptures, made from wood and painted to resemble cartoon bricks, will contort across the gallery, their vibrant colors, bright white mortar and thick black edges a joyous celebration of the most mundane of building materials.

One work will span the full width of the gallery, reaching tenuously across the 5 meter span, a thin line of fake brickwork achieving the impossible between the two walls. Elsewhere the gallery will be populated by large ‘wall drawings’ - the bricks configured to make abstract structures that protrude out from the gallery walls as if Wood’s work has burst through the implied restraint of the gallery architecture.
