Andrew Lacon

Guest gallery Division of Labour are pleased to present their first solo show of Andrew Lacon at Edel Assanti, London. Lacon's exhibition of new work explores the role of the image within contemporary art.

 

The works, taking reference from art history, are an attempt to understand sculpture through imagery, reintroducing the material concerns and use of colour lost through documentation. The work focuses on the display and representation of sculpture, working with objects and techniques lost in its reproduction.
