(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary arts often allows a glance into alternate universes. Gallery Pierogi on Manhattan`s Lower East Side (155 Suffolk St. New York ) is showing the worlds of William McKearn (through November 18, 2018). I like his strange groups of sculptures.
According to the press release Labor, close calls, and accidents are inspirations for McKearn.
(mckearn).
The press release also explains that McKearn`s sculptures are inspired by
the Hindu origin myth from the laborer’s viewpoint. On a visit to Angkor
Wat, McKearn was impressed by the sprawling plan of the place and the
labor that went into its construction"
Most of McKearn’s references 2could be classified as yarns, or stories embellished over time."
"McKearn`s figures are typically straining or contorted in panic, inspired by a lifetime in construction and attendant mishaps, or by the follies of youth."
