Sopheap Pich at Tyler Rollins Fine Art

Cambodia-based artist Sopheap Pich’s bamboo and rattan sculptures are inspired by the natural world, yet bring to mind 3-D diagrams in virtual space. Here, Pich presents a flowering stem for admiration, not for its color but for its curving forms searching for light. (At Tyler Rollins Fine Art in Chelsea through Nov 19th).
