Lars Fisk
Since 1995, Lars-Erik Fisk has reimagined familiar and common-place objects into spheres, which he considers a "basic form… that we can all understand, but is at the same time the least likely form for these subjects to assume.”
Transforming objects in this way engenders a fascination with the mundane and elevates otherwise unnoticed details of one’s everyday surroundings to works of art that demand attention.
Made primarily by hand in the artist’s Brooklyn studio, each circle is designed to engage ordinary elements from parking lots, subway tiles, car parts and pencil stubs. The eclectic material palette uses the components of these architectural and urban facets – namely steel, glass and asphalt – and turn them into perfect spheres; transforming the simple theory into a potent array of sculptures.
