Gary Webb
Webb developed his practice during his BA at Goldsmiths College of Art
(1994-7). He specialises in sculptural assemblages uniting traditional
and modern materials in unexpected combinations and configurations.
Mixing abstraction with geometry and synthetic found objects with
invented forms, he has created an unique hybrid language of his own.
Much of Webb's work is an attempt to make tangible internalised
emotions. Initially expressed in spontaneous drawings, they are then
developed into three dimensional objects which frequently bear only
tangential relationship to their starting point. He has explained:
Recent exhibitions include: The Moderns, Castello di Rivoli Museo
d'Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli-Torino (2003); Biennale d'Art
Contemporian de Lyon (2003); Early One Morning, Whitechapel Art
Gallery, London (2002); Ringer, MW Projects, London (2002, solo);
Casino 2001, SMAK, Ghent, Belgium (2001); Nouveau Riche (with Keith
Farquhar), The Approach, London (2000); Gary Webb plays Gary Webb, The
Approach, London (1998, solo).
