The “live sculptures” of Roman Ermakov combine fashion, fine art, and installation work, each offering an energy and vibrancy powered by the humans bearing his works. These creations from the Moscow-based artist enliven both the runaway and public spaces. His recent work, as shown, takes influence from the costume parties of Germany’s Bauhaus school in the 1920s, where these artists’ radical ideas in architecture and sculpture were also channeled.
“In my work my aim is to achieve a harmony of the space through my sculptures or performances,” the artist says. “A human being is taking an important place in my work. By making a series of architectural costumes ‘Live Sculptures’ I am observing the changing of the form because of the human being body movements. And the factor of mobility is starting to play one of the main roles. The observing of the moving sculpture in the space opens new composition opportunities.”

Gilles Cenazandotti is a French artist known for his arresting sculptures of animals constructed entirely of litter he collects from the ocean. Petroleum products, bottle caps, tubes of sunscreen, and other plastic refuse are gathered from the sea and transformed into a variety of species, many endangered. Through his art, Cenazandotti hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our planet and the number of species threatened by human activity and pollution.
In Michael Craig-Martin's sculptural practice, he creates enormous versions of everyday objects that appear as though they were drawn. In a show ending this week, he offered new works in this vein at Gagosian's Britannia Street location in London. This was the first time works in this series were shown indoors.
