For greater than 5 many years, Sandy Skoglund has explored a fusion of pictures, set up, and conceptual artwork. The artist’s elaborately detailed scenes, constructed from all kinds of supplies, from furnishings to papier-mâché to meals, take months—typically years—to finish. One iconic picture portrays two kids in a blue bed room, surrounded by vibrant orange goldfish, whereas in “Radioactive Cats,” we discover ourselves peering at a pair in a grey kitchen as they go about regular actions amongst a clowder of glowing, inexperienced felines.
A brand new exhibition, The Imaginary Worlds of Pictures, at Palazzo del Duca in Senigallia, Italy, celebrates Skoglund’s profession by a survey of her outstanding images, emphasizing her attunement to the relationships between hues and contrasts, her topics, and components of every set. Typically combining sculptural strategies with a photographic aesthetic associated to industrial promoting, she welcomes us into surreal and uncanny tableaux the place as an alternative of a transparent narrative, we discover realms of baffling surprise.
The Imaginary Worlds of Pictures continues by June 2, 2024. Discover extra of Skoglund’s work on her website and Instagram.
