Alex Chinneck has the world tied in knots as he distorts on a regular basis instruments and infrastructure. Twisting and twining phone cubicles, hammers, and lamp posts, the British artist (beforehand) warps widespread objects to exaggerated proportions, rendering every nearly fully unusable. Mop handles type good bows, a brush constricts so tightly round a canister that blue paint spills out, and a shiny pink hearth extinguisher seems choked for air. Chinneck’s interventions are boldly weird and converse to the extraordinary potential of humble objects.
This summer season, the artist will set up the knotted lamp posts beneath as a part of a everlasting work in Bristol, together with a spectacular boat enterprise a gravity-defying loop-the-loop for the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal. Keep watch over these initiatives and discover his current kinetic sculptures for Hérmes’s Hong Kong retailer on Instagram.
