The catalogue for a solo exhibition of artist David Altmejd at Xavier Hufkens in Brussels, whose work often mixes seemingly random objects to create sculptures that enact open-ended narratives and are brimming with symbolic potential. Gathering his most recent artworks, which use materials like epoxy clay, plaster, found objects and fruit, the exhibition takes on nightmarish proportions with malformed, half-human shapes and anthropomorphic standing figures, full of motion, which are in turn countered by mirrored towers, inscrutable in their static, reflective geometric forms that seem to disappear into the gallery space. With a text by Oscar van den Boogaard.
