Bobby Niven: Palm of the Hand
1 August – 1 September 2013
Bobby Niven, Touching, 2012. Co-production with Triangle France.
This exhibition of new work by Bobby Niven brings together anthropomorphic sculptures with more solemn, abstract structures, finding humour in the tension between animate and inert forms.
Made from mud, sprayed concrete and carved wood, Niven’s sculptures act as plinths for found objects and artifacts which they generously offer up to the viewer. A complex layering of motifs between prop, artifact and sculpture is repeated and distorted through scale and form across the installation, creating a conversation between the objects on display and their component parts.
The work presented here was developed during Niven’s residency at Triangle France in Marseille as part of the Glasgow Sculpture Studios exchange programme, supported by Glasgow Life.
Tues–Sun, 12–6pm
