Overview
Characterized by compositions of various types of steel, Boveās ongoing series of "collage sculptures," begun in 2016, amalgamates theoretical and art-historical influences across time periods and disciplines. To create these lyrical and abstract assemblages, Bove pairs fabricated tubing that has been crushed and shaped at her studio with found metal scraps and a single highly polished disk. Luminous color is applied to parts of the composition, transforming the steelāmore commonly associated with inflexibility and heftāinto something that appears malleable and lightweight, like clay, fabric, or crinkled paper.
Boveās new works are smaller in scale and elaborate on the ācollage sculptures,ā with more complex forms that twist, fold, and bend into postures that belie their material construction. Bove manipulates steel to varying degrees, rendering gentle folds in some, and extreme, almost anthropomorphic contortions in others. Their contrasting texturesāmatte, glossy, or roughācreate a further sense of visual play, heightening the surface tension throughout.
The publication features a new interview with the artist by Johanna Burton. Published on the occasion of the artistās solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Hong Kong in 2019, Carol Bove is available in both English only and bilingual English/traditional Chinese editions.
