Ricky Swallow: The Bricoleur
16 October 2009 - 28 February 2010
Ricky Swallow: The Bricoleur brings together recent sculpture created since 2004, as well as several groups of watercolours, all which reveal the artist’s keen interest in synthesising the mundane and the profound.
Renowned for his expertly crafted wooden s...culptures that bring to mind the still life tradition, Swallow’s work underscores how memory, longing, and the passage of time are distilled within the humble objects of daily life. His work is constructed using traditional sculptural methods and materials (wood, bronze, plaster), exploring contemporary ideas and popular culture.
Exclusive to Melbourne, Ricky Swallow: The Bricoleur is the artist’s first major exhibition in Australia since 2006. It will include many works not previously exhibited in this country, including several which will be on public display for the first time.
