Nick Cave's latest works, Amalgams and Graphts, at Jack Shainman Gallery in Tribeca, blend monumental sculptures with personal narratives. Building on his iconic Soundsuits, these pieces confront issues of identity and societal violence following significant historical events. The exhibition features a notable 26-foot sculpture and other bronze figures that draw parallels to themes of protection and migration, highlighting Cave's ongoing exploration of public art's role in sparking dialogue regarding resistance to oppression and community engagement through creative expression.

...the bronze works are part of Cave's interest in public art and sharing his practice—including his commitment to cultivating resistance in the face of oppression more broadly.
