Luhring Augustine is pleased to present two recent standing floor sculptures by the London-based artist Roger Hiorns. The sculptures feature engines coated with the organic compound copper sulphate, a chemical with an unpredictable reactive potential, which Hiorns has employed to transform mass-produced objects into aesthetic entities; a seemingly redemptive gesture exploring the opposition between the natural and man-made. By anthropomorphizing the objects through anatomical references, Hiorns continues to explore the transposable relationship between man and manufactured product in his sculptures, reducing the human figure into representative signs and totems.
