Thomas Houseago, Untitled (Red Man), 2008
The term “statuesque” suggests attributes of classical beauty, elegance, and proportion. The statue was, at one time, the model of artistic form. But the classical statue is now a historical style, evoking an earlier era. This exhibition of recent works by six international artists poses the question of what it means for a contemporary sculpture to be like a statue. How do today’s artists draw upon and reinvent this tradition?
