The Shape of things to come: New Sculpture

The New North by David Almeid

Saatchi Gallery. Duke of York's HQ, King's Rd, London, SW3 4SQ

Despite the hard critique I read about The shape of thing to come: New Sculpture, written by Brian Sewell, I had a good time seeing it.

Many different contemporary artists are showed, a diversity that is also reflected in the sculptures. I wasn’t appeal by all of them but I found a couple interesting and beautiful.

I think about “The New North” the massive sculpture of David Almejd who can be compare to a “Disco Yeti” and make me think about this beautiful videoclip of Grizzly bear. (see below)

Also, the poesy that came out of the work of Berlinde de Bruyckere as you can see ambiguous shapes made with horse’s skins.

If you haven’t seen it, Richard Wilson’s permanent installation "20:50" is the most effective optical illusion I had seen!

You can see it for free until the 16^th October 2011 at Saatchi Gallery.
