Agora Gallery Presents a Collective Exhibition: Samantha Churchill's Sculptures Bring Recycled Aluminum to Life in Idiosyncratic Expressions
Samantha Churchill "Too Tired"
The original inspiration for Samantha Churchill's sculptures of recycled aluminum conduit came from her excavation of a condominium construction site. Already an accomplished painter, she chose wire sculpture as a means of engaging with non-traditional materials that she could bend, twist and form to manifest her unique visions. She was also drawn to the possibilities of sculpture as a more direct means of engagement with the viewer of her art. Using inorganic material to portray a living thing roused her creativity and is also thematically relevant to her concerns for the environment. Her evolution as a sculptor has moved from creating small-scale works to life-size, and Samantha has also said that sculpting the life-sized human body exercises, for her, the negative body stereotypes society inflicts on women.
Whether one views these distinctive pieces as personal expressions or cultural commentary, what is undeniable is the tenacity and individuality of Samantha Churchill's ongoing work as a sculptor.
Idiosyncratic Expressions is an exhibition that offers viewers a deeper story through twisted sculptures of recycled aluminum, veneers applied to natural cuts of wood that appear at first glance to be paintings, and where Americana and Japanese manga collide. Audiences will be moved by the striking and distinctive viewpoints presented in the works of art in this spectacular collective. Pulsing with vibrant energy, Color Immersion displays the expressive, central role that an artist’s palette plays in the creation of a painting. Crafting their personal inspirations in a variety of styles, this exhibition features a collection of painters that are united in their understanding of the intimate relationship between color and emotion. A Maze of Milieu is an enchanted voyage through eddying colors, majestic landscapes and smooth panoramas that dare viewers to be swept away by the brilliance of the world around us.
