Seeing new possibilities in the humble materials of everyday life, Koji Ryui deftly re-arranges them into elegant, intricate and often creature-like sculptural forms, in his ongoing exploration of transformation.
Showing at the beautifully situated Sarah Cottier Gallery, SO LONG will present a series of the artist's latest creations, incorporating non-heroic materials like paper, polystyrene, plastic drinking straws, drift wood, a metal bin, a mop stick, cigarette filters, paper streamers, cotton buds, marshmallows, double sided tape, chewing gum, nylon rope and even MSG.
SO LONG draws on apocalyptic ideas and might be seen as a disquieting lament for the end of something, but it proposes new ways of looking at things, and an alternate, synthetic rebuilding of the world around us.
