| dc.description | latex over rope and string"Among Hesse's most haunting final works are two pieces made from latex or fiberglass-covered wire or rope, each of which hangs from the ceiling in tangled skeins. Resembling gnarled traceries of paint lifted out of a Jackson Pollock splatter canvas and given three-dimensional form, they evince exposed-nerve vulnerability and a precarious physicality far beyond anything a two-dimensional image could convey. Chaotic, yet possessing an off-kilter grace, these pieces sum up Hesse's disarming talent for mixing a kind of sentient beauty with beguiling ugliness. They also reveal Hesse's affinity with the post-minimal art of American artists like Robert Morris or Alan Saret, as they approach the artist's stated goal of articulating a type of sculpture that doesn't look like art, but that instead stands poised on the threshold of the recognizable." -- from http://www.eyestorm.com/feature/ED2n_article.asp?article_id=369&caller=1 (accessed 10/6/03) | en_US |
