Tin bronze

Thomas Houseago’s large-scale sculptures often retain textures that reveal the marks of their making. Flower & Death depicts a skeletal figure rising from a colossal flower, symbolizing at once decay and rebirth. Conceived in 2018 as a tribute to the artist’s late father and carved from an ancient redwood, the work later came to reflect his own experience of transformation. During a personal crisis in 2020, Houseago abandoned sculpture, returning only after a long period of recovery to create a new work from this piece. Now cast in bronze—a material that oxidizes and erodes over time—the artwork takes on added layers of meaning about strength and change.

Bronze

Wang Keping first rose to prominence in Beijing in the late 1970s as a co founder of the Stars Group, the dissident collective that staged China’s first avant garde exhibitions. After moving to France in the 1980s, he began developing a sculptural language rooted in simplicity and sensuality. Working primarily in wood, Wang carves into tree trunks in ways that respect their natural cracks, knots, and curves, allowing these cues to guide the final form. The bronze sculpture Découverte (2022), first carved in 2020 and patinated during his 2022 residency at the Rodin Museum, exemplifies this approach; its rounded contours suggest the curves of a female figure, one of the artist’s most enduring subjects.

Born in 1978 in Lokeren and in 1979 in Ghent, Muller Van Severen live and work between Evergem and Ostend.

Concrete

Collaborating as the duo Muller Van Severen since 2011, Belgian artists Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen developed a synergistic body of work that continually explores the boundaries between sculpture and functional object. Their distinctive visual language is defined by clean lines and elemental forms. The Concrete Wire sculptures continue their exploration of visual weight and material tension: each form begins as a block template with a corner removed, before being gently curved—suggesting the lightness of paper, despite the density of its material. The resulting works balance abstraction and function, inviting viewers to engage both visually and physically with their undulating shapes.

Born in 1951 in New York, Arlene Shechet lives and works in Kingston.

279.4 x 360.7 x 203.2 cm

Painted aluminum

Arlene Shechet embraces experimentation, play, and surprise in her sculptural practice, working across ceramics, clay, wood and metal to create forms that seem to capture movement. Dawn comprises several aluminum sheets, intricately welded together to appear as though caught mid-motion, as if swept by a gust of wind. Some surfaces are painted in matte peach and glossy lilac, while others remain raw, allowing the sculpture to hover between delicacy and force. Part of Shechet’s Girl Group series commissioned by Storm King Art Center in 2024, the artwork challenges the traditionally masculine language of monumental sculpture.
