“Sculpture by Nigel Hall: Chinese Whispers III, 2010 (Phosphor Bronze ed 2/3)” / Annely Juda Fine Art / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13889

What does Chinese culture look like to the Western eyes? Here is one abstract sculptural interpretation by English sculptor and draughtsman Nigel Hall.

 

Nigel Hall’s grandfather was a stonemason working on churches and cathedrals. Nigel’s observation of the precision carving of stones growing up would influence his sculptures and drawings intimately.

 

There is a delicate balance of forms through an organic visual language cast in a material as concrete as phosphor bronze. The two droplet-like forms are intended as “Chinese whispers”. Two separate forms connected like the yin and the yang. The interplay of shadows and balance is important to the artist, and that intention is quite evident in this minimal yet powerful piece.
