Scott Lyall
20 Sep, 2008 - 23 Nov, 2008
A major solo exhibition featuring Toronto artist Scott Lyall, the centerpiece of which is Lyall`s 2008 commission for The Power Plant. Lyall combines drawing, painting, sculpture, and found objects into spare yet complex sculptural environments. Delving into themes such as the links between graphic processes, sculptural display, and the design legacies of Conceptualism, Lyall makes his sculptures from everyday materials like particle board and Styrofoam and incorporates minor, ephemeral fragments, as well as mathematically-generated drawings and paintings, into his installations. The effect is one of improvisation and incompleteness married with calm predetermination.
