Andrew Barton - Play Safe - Urban Wear Bomb Suit Sculpture

Skulptur, Mixed Media på keramikk/steingods

Størrelse: 50 x 155 x 42 cm

Dette er kunsthåndverk fra a-å, og det finnes kun en av denne typen.

Veier vel rundt 40 kilo - give or take.

Overdelen kan løsnes fra stativet for enklere frakt (går greit i en stasjonsvogn)

Denne ble produsert i 2011, samme år som Utøya i symbolikkens navn, og ble starten på en rekke større og mindre arbeider i samme stil. Alle unike med forskjellig brenning og glassur.

Må hentes i Oslo

Born in London, England 1970.

He studied at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHIO), from 1991-1996 and has since also been a guest teacher there.

Male fertility, non-loving sex, violence and cannibalism were reoccurring themes in Barton`s work from the end of the 90`s.

Barton`s work then took a new direction focusing on the torso or body fragment in combination with a foreign object or abstract shape, dealing with bodily transformations and meditative states of being.

His recent work deals with industrial products from dystopian futures; space helmets designed for religious expansion in space, and bomb suits tailored for the mundane acts of shopping and child`s play in a future society gone bad.

Barton has exhibited several larger collections of his works abroad and in Norway. His works are represented in private and corporate collections in Norway and abroad.
