STATION | SYDNEY
STATION is delighted to present this solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles-based artist Mark Whalen.
In his new exhibition Slow Burn, Whalen continues to delve into the realm of figurative sculptures highlighting the overlooked moments that shape our everyday existence. His sculptures feature quirky objects like steak, books and candles reimagined into meaningful compositions. Through his choice of materials, such as onyx stone, glass, bronze and aluminium, Whalen juxtaposes textures to depict the interplay between permanence and transience. With this series the artist highlights how the true essence of life's moments often becomes apparent, gradually unfolding their importance as time passes.
