Recasting the Melting Pot: Hugh Hayden’s Iron Sculptures Examine How Culture Is Duplicated and Dispersed

 "A lot of times, I do use notions of cooking and recipes in the way I describe making my work," Hugh Hayden says in a new short film. "I do think that cooking, as an act of making something, is a metaphor for many aspects of life." Hayden is well-known for his monumental sculptures and installations that scrutinize our perceptions of ourselves, our stories, and our environment. Often using wood, the artist draws on tenets of colonialism and its impacts on socioeconomic dynamics, education, and historical narratives. In the new video produced by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art,…

Classical Figures Plunge into Contemporary Life in Alexey Kondakov’s Era-Blurring Paintings

Alexey Kondakov stretches the notion that art is timeless. In his uncanny Art History in Contemporary Life series (previously), Kondakov plucks figures from neoclassical and romantic paintings and places them into modern settings, blurring era, style, and medium. Kondakov primarily works with backgrounds he's photographed throughout his native Kyiv and other European cities including Berlin, Milan, and Naples. Often laden with graffiti and modern conveniences like electric stovetops and vehicles, the harsh, urban settings counter the soft, angelic characteristics of the Old Masters. In one work, the spirited…

Kate MccGwire On Discerning Duality, Connecting with Nature, and Making Art in the Belly of a Dutch Barge

Inside glass vitrines redolent of cabinets of curiosities or Victorian-era natural history collections, Kate MccGwire’s "creatures" appear locked in an intense, writhing struggle. Known for sculptures and installations that incorporate thousands of bird feathers into serpentine bodies and gushing spills, the artist (previously) houses works in bespoke cases or historic buildings that induce a sense of surprise, unease, and wonder. MccGwire, who is now based in London, grew up on the Norfolk Broads, a network of waterways in the eastern lobe of England that are mostly navigable by boat, where her explorations of the region's wetlands and wildlife provided a…

Faith XLVII Engages Humanity’s Shadows Through the Delicate Interplay of Light and Dark

Artist Faith XLVII (previously) describes a recent body of work as "a kind of scratching into the chiaroscuro of our souls." Titled Clair-Obscur, the collection comprises wax-crayon drawings, stitched-map tapestries, installations, videos, and Polaroids that reflect on the fundamental duality between light and dark. Invoking the Jungian notion of shadow selves—the idea that people repress what they don't like to acknowledge—Faith XLVII conjures both nature's cycles and social and political issues, including environmental degradation, tyrannical rule, and human rights violations. Works include a…

Using Red Thread, Rima Day Intertwines History, Nature, and Human Experience in Striking Embroideries

Pondering the beguiling aspects of human experience, artist Rima Day (previously) embroiders a labyrinth of undulating root systems and sinuous veins. The Tennessee-based artist entwines fleeting sentiments of humanity with bodies and nature, using a range of surfaces that converse with red thread. "I imagine that the needle for me is like a writer’s pen. The shape represents the transience and vitality of the human mind and body, but at the same time, I suggest the similarity to trees and other aspects in nature," she tells Colossal. Cascading…
