Often working on a towering scale, the inflatable sculptures of Max Streicher are studies in form, space, and movement, as each's air-filled interior gives the material life. Using recycled vinyl and nylon spinnaker (along with electric fans), Streicher crafts figurative giants that loom in both cityscapes and open interiors. He’s been working in this form since 1989.
Jason Hackenwerth’s enormous, inflatable sculptures emulate organic forms, writhing and towering over passers-by on streets across the globe. His “Animal Soul” series, in particular, features vibrant creatures created from latex balloons. He recently showed this wearable works in an exhibition exhibition at Brookfield Place in New York City. Like much of his work, it was a temporary affair.
