Joel Shapiro's exhibition at Pace Gallery presents playful, gravity-defying sculptures, showcasing a vibrant exploration of color, space, and movement that captivates viewers.
'ARK', the largest sculpture in the show, challenges gravity with its nearly 12-foot height and geometric shapes that seem to defy the laws of physics, creating an illusion of suspended motion.
The new works mark a departure from Shapiro's earlier exhibitions characterized by rope-suspended sculptures; here, the sculptures stand freely, enhancing their sense of independence and weightlessness.
The second room of the exhibition reveals a delightful array of colorful wood sculptures, where the visible construction elements, like nails and rods, add to their charm and whimsy.
