Alison Jacques presents its first exhibition of British artist Alison Wilding (b. 1948 Blackburn, UK). This exhibition is a widely anticipated overview of the artist’s 50-year career, spanning work from 1975 to the present day. It allows a comprehensive insight into one of Britain’s most respected and yet under-recognised sculptors.
Wilding’s work is often discussed in terms of materials and shadow, concealment and revelation; the artist refers to her work as ‘mostly abstract sculptures’. Outside of abstraction, her practice is very much related to human desires and bodily encounters. As Wilding says, ‘sculpture can be sexy’. Wilding often pushes together and juxtaposes unlikely relationships between materials including wood, rubber, paper and sand, focusing on her continued exploration of balance, weight and line.
