Crystal Wagner Appears in ‘Dimensions of Three’

Crystal Wagner’s otherworldly installations are both spellbinding and unsettling. The works resemble something organic, yet are constructed from paper, wire, wood, paint, sealant, and other materials. Her recent pieces are part of the new show "Dimensions of Three" at Allouche Gallery in New York City, along with Martin Gremse and Reinoud Oudshoorn. The show starts Nov. 30 and runs through Dec. 31. The artist was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 41, and she last appeared on our website here.

Or as the gallery says, “her pieces resemble mutant honey combs, enchanted plasma or toxic dipped coral reefs hungry for revenge. Straddling the line between natural and artificial, rampant and contained, Wagner’s abstract forms resemble otherworldly growths that have temporarily agreed to reside peacefully on the gallery walls.”

David Moreno’s Surreal Sculptures Are ‘Drawn’ with Wires

His series titled "Drawing in Space" features sculptures made of steel wires that emulate the fast and energetic style of drawing in a rather wild and sometimes uncontrolled way. Though they are built using a stiff material, Moreno's sculptures of surreal floating cabins, chairs, and figures exhibit a certain delicacy and tenderness. Using a similar technique to cross-hatching, he is able to create tonal or shading effects of carefully placed lines that are viewed from a specific vantage point.
