Provenance Luhring Augustine, New York Exhibited New York, Luhring Augustine, Counterfacture: William Daniels David Musgrave Rupert Norfolk, Alex Pollard, January 12 - February 10, 2007 Glasgow, Sorcha Dallas, Alex Pollard, 2007, pp. 6 and 33 (illustrated) Literature N. Mulholland and A. Pollard, Alex Pollard, Glasgow, 2007, pp. 6 and 33 (illustrated) Catalogue Essay The artwork of Alex Pollard is very much based on themes of play, which emerge amidst a process of experimentation and trial and error in the artist’s studio. Works are often comprised of basic art class tools, mainly functioning to begin work or translate form. But Pollard utilizes these basic instruments to erect anthropomorphic creatures or beasts, taking on a life of their own as they take shape. Cat Monkey, 2006 based on ‘Beast of Borneo,’ a new lemur-like species discovered that year, is a piece exhibiting Pollard’s renowned studio improvisation skills. The skulking creature is derived from crudely constructed pieces and curved rulers, all fitting together to form what can only be described as the perfect Cat Monkey representation. Read More
