Contemporary Art: The Generous Gambler @ Derek Eller Gallery New York

(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary artist like to experiment and to try new materials. At Gallery Derek Eller on Manhattan`s Lower East Side I saw a show with  new works by Danish artist Peter Linde Busk (derekeller).

The press release tells: "Working in mosaic and collage comprised of a vast array of recycled material and detritus, Busk composes intricate, monumental wall reliefs reminiscent of Spolia architecture, Byzantine chapels, and Art Brut". The press release continues: "Busk has created a living ecosystem that constantly feeds his practice. Studies, fragments, cuttings, leftover wood, cardboard, glass, and paper are re-purposed and incorporated into compositions." I display my favorites here, a very subjective selection as usual.






Above you can see "The Generous Gambler" (2019, fired and glazed ceramics, various kinds of treated paper, various kinds of treated wood, wood stain, shellack, cardboard, card, foam, on board, 80.71 x 59.06 x 4.72 inches, 205 x 150 x 12 cm).
