Quayola at Bitforms Gallery

Italian artist Quayola revisits the subject of Laocoon, the ill-fated Trojan priest in ancient Greek mythology, in an arresting sculpture that combines a digital, geometric rendering of the priest’s head with a realistic representation. Coated in oxidized iron powder, the sculpture appears both aged and new. (At Bitforms Gallery on the Lower East Side through April 9th).

Quayola, Laocoon Fragment G_003.V, iron, epoxy, fiberglass, 14.1 x 12.7 x 12 inches, 2016.
