David Moreno’s Wire ‘Drawings’ Evolve

Spanish artist David Moreno’s wild, wire sculptures have evolved into more vibrant, kinetic creations. Whether carried in the palm of your hand or standing waist-high, these absorbing works appear at once erratic and meticulous. The artist was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 43, available here, and he was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“For this show he explores new territories,” a statement for his recent show at N2 Galeria in Spain. “On the one hand, experimentation with color to add another dimension to his sculpture. On the other hand, he goes a little further in the construction of imaginary spaces.”

Perhaps the best description for Moreno’s work is found in the artist’s Instagram bio, in which he offers four words: “Trying to draw sculptures.” In these new works, it appears that the artist’s success in doing so is becoming more and more realized.

Darius Hulea's figures are forged in metal wire, yet carry a ghostly, apparating quality. The Romania-based artist depicts a range of figures, from Ferdinand I and violinst George Enesco to philosopher Mircea Eliade and sculptor Frederic Storck. The artist moves between differing types of metal, as well, including bronze, iron, steel, copper, and brass.
“Sawdust provocateur" AJ Fosik crafts totem-like wooden sculptures influenced by taxidermy, rituals from varying cultures, and folk art. He's also one of three artists crafting installation projects at SCOPE Miami Beach's atrium (Dec. 4-9), marking Hi-Fructose's 14th year in publishing. Fosik was the cover artist for Hi-Fructose Vol. 18 and was last featured on HiFructose.com here. Below, he talks to us about what's ahead:
The surreal sculptures of Samuel Salcedo add both distortion and vulnerability to the human form. The Spanish artist plays with texture and scale, creating intimacy in both nude figures and massive faces adorning gallery walls. Most of the pieces carry humor: All of them are packed with bare humanity.
Wisconsin based artist Kelly Jelinek combines the art form of taxidermy with upholstery to create her colorful and unusual animal sculptures. The name of her art studio is derived from the artist's last name, Jelinek, which means "little deer" or "little stag" in Czech, so it might seem no coincidence that she feels a strong connection to nature. But even more importantly, her work is faux and kill-free, and as a lifelong animal lover, she remains committed to making art that preserves the fantasy of animals while they were still alive.
