Excavated Sculptures by Shan Hur

Juxtapoz // Monday, 25 Feb 2013

London-based artist Shan Hur embeds his sculptures into the walls and pillars of the gallery as if they were hidden treasures excavated from the gallery. Shan allows the gallery to become part of the sculpture by making it essential to the impact of the work. Commenting on his work, Shan says, "“One of the issues I have focused on is how to reduce the burden of the volume of sculpture. I then connect this mass to its surroundings, but not just as part of the whole. I think sculpture should communicate with its circumstances.” (via beautifuldecay)
