MICHAEL DEAN
Qualities of Violence
24 January - 10 May 2015
Michael Dean produces sculptures of cast concrete or other industrial materials, which seek to evoke unusual physical reactions in the human body. It is not often that hard cement appears soft and flexible. Dean's sculptural works arise from his own extensive writing. His forms represent words, but in a three-dimensional type face which he developed himself, so that they remain strange and inexplicable for the viewer. His work is accompanied by short, poetical texts. For Dean, language and images go hand in hand.
