Scott Campbell’s Cut Currency Returns in ‘Using All The Freedoms We Have’

Scott Campbell’s sculptures crafted from cut currency reveal grim spectres. In his current show at Over the Influence Hong Kong, titled “Using All The Freedoms We Have,” new works are presented. Campbell was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

The gallery talks about the diverse output from the artist currently: “In recent years, he has gained much acclaim from fine art communities worldwide for his work in mediums other than skin, including intricately carved sculptures made out of US currency, a series of watercolor paintings based on his experiences during a 6 week stay in a maximum security prison in Mexico City, and graphite drawings done on the insides of eggshells,” a statement says. “Campbell has only shown in galleries for a few years, but his work is already seen in some of the most revered collections and museums worldwide including a solo exhibition at the Garage Museum in Moscow, Russia.”

In his ongoing project "Cement Eclipses", Issac Cordal takes an unconventional approach to observing our behavior as a social mass.

The Spanish artist describes his work as "quickly opening doors to other worlds", often where the "unwelcome" or unfortunate are welcoming the viewer to consider the issues that face the real world.

With his sculptures of multitudes of identical, disaffected, middle-aged men, Isaac Cordal critiques modern society's emphasis on work and productivity. In our contemporary capitalist system, everything is thought of as a potential way to make profit — like public universities, which are becoming increasingly privatized and unaffordable here in the United States and in countries all over the world. This is the subject of Cordal's latest piece, "The School," where he imagines a university as a nightmarish factory with a skeletal overlord shouting instructions from a watchtower.
