| Carol Bove, Untitled, 2014 (detail) Peacock feathers on linen |
New York sculptor Carol Bove is a new name to me, but images of her shows at David Zwirner and HMI look impressive. The work has a Minimalist, formalist appearance but uses a wide range of materials - including wood, steel, concrete, brass and... peacock feathers! - and assumes an equally wide variety of forms. She evidently takes particular care over the relationships of the individual pieces in the gallery installation. In the Leeds show her work is shown alongside furniture, sculpture and architectural models by Carlo Scarpa (1906-78). According to HMI's exhibition text, both artists are bound by concerns for the object and its environment, the nature of encountering sculpture and the ways by which objects are given meaning.
