Nothing else in Chelsea looks remotely like Brooklyn-based sculptor Robert Lazzarini\u2019s latest sculptures at Marlborough Gallery<\/a> (through Feb 16th<\/sup>).\u00a0 Partly inspired by the 1973 movie Badlands, they and evoke an American roadtrip gone badly wrong.<\/p>\n

This fence was welded together from over two-hundred individually cast steel pieces.\u00a0 Lazzarini\u2019s attention to detail goes far \u2013 he even made the barbed wire.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s the most impressive piece in the show not only in terms of how much work went into it, but in how Lazzarini reimagines a metal fence blowing as if it were a cloth or flag gently flapping the in breeze.<\/p>\n

Lazzarini called this melting liquor sign the \u2018most profound piece in the show,\u2019 saying, \u2018It speaks to a damage within society that is not easily seen.\u2019\u00a0 In person, the sculpture\u2019s text is surprisingly difficult to read, as if we had had one too many.\u00a0 Its towering, ghostly presence is a highlight of the show.<\/p>\n

Vaults, blown open and empty, are such a Hollywood staple that this twisted lockbox looks strangely familiar.\u00a0 Finding it twisted in the corner, as if in a fun-house mirror, is not so expected.\u00a0 While struggling with that not-quite-clear sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, check out the sculpture\u2019s most amazing feature \u2013 its perfectly skewed lock.<\/p>\n
