The English Garden, S11
Lawrie Shabibi is proud to present UAE artist Shaikha Al Mazrou's participation in Frieze Sculpture 2022 at London's Regent's Park, with a presentation of Red Stack, 2022, the largest single work by the artist till date.
Shaikha Al Mazrou’s sculptures are expressions of materiality—articulations of tension and the interplay between form and content. Central to her practice is her irreverent use of material and its apparent contradictions, using durable materials that are made to resemble something soft, pliable or ephemeral.
Fascinated by notions of physical space, Al Mazrou’s sculptures and installations materialise as simple gestures that emphasise the representation of tension, weight and space, whilst borrowing formally from minimalism and intellectually from conceptual art, colour theory and geometric abstraction.
Red Stack develops the forms and language of Al Mazrou’s inflated and folded steel sculptures, which in turn resemble helium balloons or giant displays of origami.
The public art exhibition curated by Clare Lilley, runs alongside Frieze London and Frieze Masters and will be open from 14 September until 13 November 2022.
