By Laurids Gallée Material: GlassYear: 2025Dimensions: 140 x 96 x 360 mm.Edition: 14 + 3 Artist's Proofs (AP) This series explores the sculptural weight and symbolic legacy of the three materials, marble, bronze, and glass, historically associated with endurance, power, and opulence. Rather than reaffirming traditional uses, the pieces aim to transform the iconography tied to these materials. Drawing on some of the oldest sculptural processes (carving, shaping, casting), the work departs from classical representations of idealized bodies and proposes a visual language that is stylized, surreal, and emotionally charged. In ‘Meld Fishies’, ‘Morph Horsies’, and ‘Stack Fishies’, the forms are inflated, primitive, and hybrid. Shapes of horses and fishes blend into one another, their outlines thickened, their identities blurred.The resulting figures appear fused and sometimes comically, sometimes grotesquely, evoking a sense of tragic absurdity. Beneath the playful exterior lies a reflection on how the animal form is both glorified and exploited. Through this fusion of ancient technique and contemporary sensibility the work references the past while speaking to the present.
