Kadriye İnal’s ‘Patchwork’ Sculptures

Kadriye İnal’s “patchwork” paper sculptures capture humanity in both form and the imperfect, abstract beauty found in our seams. The artist's work has also been called collage, though she has said that it exists "somewhere between three and two dimensions, between reality and fiction."

“According to Kadriye İnal, because dreams are the symbolic language of the subconscious mind, they create a sincere world as a result of their direct nature,” a past statement says. “In a constant pursuit after this fact, the artist deals with the reality in a conscious environment of dreams. As İnal creates her compositions on the basis of the conjunction of the real and the fictive, she opens the free and colorful doors of the imaginary world to viewers. In addition to each sculpture having its own story, the show as a whole presents images that offer countless interpretations to viewers”

First featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 12, and soon our “Turn The Page: The First Ten Tears of Hi-Fructose” retrospective at Virginia MOCA, Scott Hove is an unforgettable name for his decadent, yet nightmarish "Cakeland" series that includes snarling 'taxidermied' cakes and elaborate installations. But his works are more than just a sweet experience. Hove's use of dualistic imagery in the cakes' fangs, horns and switchblades are there to add psychological depth and force the viewer to choose how to integrate the dark elements into the lightness of the cake. For years, the Los Angeles based artist's primary goal has been to make the experience as "satisfying" as possible, which makes his latest project all the more savory.
Scott Musgrove’s 7.5-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide triptych “The Sanctuary” is finally complete. The artist spent nearly three years on the piece—made from oil on panel, wood, bronze, and glass—while simultaneously working on shows and other projects. (Musgrove was last featured on HiFructose.com here.) Below, the artist shares exclusive commentary on the creation of this piece with Hi-Fructose.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) in Canada is currently exhibiting some of hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck's most poignant works to date. The Australia born artist, recently featured in HF Vol. 30, is well known for his larger-than-life fiberglass portrait sculptures of life's key stages. This new exhibition, named "NGC@WAG: Ron Mueck" for its cooperation with the National Gallery of Canada, offers attendees a rare look at the process behind Mueck's work, including his original maquettes and studies.
While sand art is a typical beachside art attraction, Daniel Popper crafts towering, shamanistic sculptures that appear to grow out of the earth. The artist’s sensibility calls back to both centuries-old traditions, contemporaries such as Ray Villafane, and his own, complex figurative style, comprised of thousands of pieces. The Cape Town native also specializes in puppetry, stage design, and other forms, which appear to play into his enormous public art installations. The top piece, “Ven a la Luz,” was created over a month for the Art With Me festival in Tulum, Mexico.
