黑料不打烊

The Woolff Gallery is delighted to present the 5th edition of the 鈥楩found鈥� group show. We have specialised in three-dimensional artworks for a number of years and are consistently drawn to artworks created using unusual mediums or techniques. The 鈥楩found鈥� exhibition is an opportunity to present a selection of incredible works of art made from found objects and re-purposed materials from a handpicked group of artists, including some exciting new additions for 2017. We always find it encouraging when we discover artists and designers who are able to incorporate or re-process the things many people see as 鈥榬ubbish鈥� into amazing works of art. Re-use and re-cycle are actions that we are all familiar with and the 鈥楩found鈥� exhibition is a celebration of the artists who harvest discarded objects and materials, and their imagination when it comes to re-presenting them as thought-through and considered artworks. In 鈥楩found鈥� 2017 we present artists working with salvaged metals, aluminium panels, drinks cans, pieces of machinery, sweet wrappers, bottle tops, vinyl records, screws, vintage toys, beads, discarded plastics, paper, and other general household trash. In almost all cases the artworks chosen for this exhibition have taken months or even years to create, and the act of collecting the materials has become an obsession for the artists. When speaking to many of the artists selected for the 鈥楩found鈥� exhibition one realises the focus and devotion that they each hold towards their work, the act of finding, processing and selecting the materials and objects that they use is often as satisfying and exciting to them as completing the work itself.
