Lennox St. Gallery is pleased to present Historical Movements, an exhibition of sculptures by Martin George.  

“TO PERFORM A SPATIALLY SCULPTURAL MOVEMENT OF ALLUSIVE TORQUE. OF LINEAR TWISTING PERFECTION.

A SERIOUSLY UNDERSTATED SHAPE, SIMPLE YET EXCESSIVE. HOW CAN THIS EQUILATERAL PENTAGON SPORT 540 DEGREES OF INTERIOR ANGLES, MORE EVEN THAN THE CIRCLE ITSELF? ONLY TO THEN DISSOLVE INTO A MATTE BLACK, A SOLID SATIN, A LACKADAISICAL IMMATERIALITY OF SURFACE?

WHO MIGHT CREATE SUCH A MODERNIST STRUCTURE, EACH SURFACE, WITHOUT DOUBT, AN ACT OF FAITH? ONCE FORMED IN THE MIND, SCULPTURES WEIGH ON THEIR MAKERS, PERSONAL STRUCTURES MANIFEST AS MON-UMENT.

HAVING PUT THE ARTIST TO THE TEST, THE PARTS ARE IN TURN PUT TO REST. CALMNESS ENSUES.

IN EACH OF ITS’ VARIED FORMS, IN EACH OF ITS’ EVOLVING STATES, WE ARE SUBJECTED TOTHE WEIGHT OF THE SCULPTURE’S IMPRINT, BOTH MATERIAL AND HISTORICAL. IN ITS PATH WE CAN COUNT THE ART HISTORICAL ISMS, THE HISTORICAL SCHISMS, EVEN THE BEATS OF TISM. FALLEN MONUMENTS ARE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, LET’S GO.”

Martin George

Having put the artist to the test, the parts are in turn put to rest. Calmness ensues.

In each of its’ varied forms, in each of its’ evolving states, we are subjected to the weight of the sculpture’s imprint, both material and historical. In its path we can count the art historical isms, the historical schisms, even the beats of TISM. Fallen monuments are only a matter of time, let’s go.
