Richard Galpin
‚Slow Boom‘
New York
Richard Galpin likes to engage with the urban environment. With ‘Slow Boom’, his new show at the Cristin Tierney Gallery, he explores this occurrence a step further by presenting abstracts constructions shifting from his previous photographical works to more transcendentals ones.
Sizable pieces of colored metal adorn the white walls of the gallery. They depict an association of cranes and scaffolding. Conceived from real building material, ‘Up Easy’ and ‘Jib Up’ are a recall of their inspiration. The constructions invoke the always moving and changing contemporary megalopolis, a favorite theme of the British artist. Similarly to these cities, Galapin’s pieces are made to live, change and evolve in a rapid growth. Acting like an ‘urban anthropologist‘, his works reflect the societal, the social and link them to the universal. By doing so, he introduces discourses on the construction act and the evolution towards a machinery world.
