“DEFINING FORM” takes a comprehensive look at the manifestations of contemporary sculpture today, engaging a dialogue of the narratives resonating amongst sculptors through works in mediums such as metal, stone, clay, wood, glass, textiles, recycled and repurposed materials, as well as mixed media.

“DEFINING FORM artists defy stereotypes with inventive works that tackle contemporary culture.

Traditionally highly male dominated, I was inspired by the new wave of female sculptors making their mark with works engaging feminist narratives.

The artworks in DEFINING FORM explode with new ideas, vibrant colors, and display a thoroughly modern sensibility through fearless explorations of the artists and unique usage of innovative materials ranging from fabric, plastic, and foam to re-purposed and found objects including chewing gum, trash and dirt.

Recycled materials are celebrated along with works engaging new digital technologies.

The exhibit displays works that are politically charged, contrasted with those full of satire and humor.

In the investigation of new tendencies, I felt it was important to juxtapose figurative works with the abstract, new materials with the classics, creating an immersive exhibit that defines new trends in sculpture and contemporary constructs of the art form.” – Indira Cesarine
