Alice Aycock’s sizeable ‘Wavy Enneper’ sculpture in Marlborough Gallery’s summer group show is tantalizingly familiar, resembling an underwater organism or a fungus. However, its enticingly curving, dynamic form was actually inspired by a diagram of a self-intersecting surface introduced by 19th century German mathematician Alfred Enneper. (On view in Chelsea through Sept 11th).
‘Wind, waves, turbines and vortexes of energy’ take solid form in Alice Aycock’s undulating aluminum sculptures at Marlborough Gallery. Intended to evoke the power of natural elements, Aycock’s cyclones – towering or tiny – are static but strongly suggestive, resembling game pieces, cut paper or dancing forms. (On view in Chelsea through Feb 27th).
Even the base of Alice Aycock’s dynamic aluminum sculpture appears to lift off the ground in the artist’s dramatic debut at Marlborough Gallery which now represents the artist. The sculpture alludes to the forces of nature, fairground rides and more in works that combine chaotic and ordered forms in one eye-popping piece. (On view on 57th Street through Nov 18th).
