From Helaine Blumenfeld’s mastery of transforming marble into translucent dynamic forms, to Sophie Ryder’s symbolic figures whose surfaces are alive with memories and found objects to Laura Ellen Bacon’s powerful muscular forms which evoke the natural world, these artists are at the height of their powers, the top of the curve.. This new exhibition showcases the work of three leading sculptors, each unique in their visual language.
By bringing together such a diverse range of perspectives and materials in one space, the exhibition exemplifies the richness of sculptural practice in Britain today garnering international acclaim. ‘Curve’ is set over two floors of gallery space located opposite Christie’s in the heart of St James’s,. The exhibition includes over 20 sculptures in bronze, marble, willow and mosaic spanning 20 years of making.
Established in 2015, ‘Curve’ marks the penultimate Hignell Gallery exhibition before celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2025. Since outgrowing their Mayfair space, the gallery now creates site specific sculpture exhibits with venues including:
Djanogly Art Gallery, Pilane Sculpture Park (Sweden), Ely Cathedral, Het Depot (The Netherlands), Holland Park, the Venice Architectural Biennale (Italy), Huygens 'Hofwijck Museum (TheHague), Chelsea Barracks, RHS Wisley.
