Leila Heller is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by artist Tarik Currimbhoy in “Sculpture in Motion,” on view in New York until July 16th, 2022. Charlotte Kotik says "in both architecture and sculpture, Currimbhoy searches for tranquility, simplicity and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Tarik's sculptures began as "stories of structure and gravity", held together under compression in stone. These became the genesis for studies in metal, which could express these concepts in dynamic fashion and sensual form. Tarik has mastered the juxtaposition of the old and the new creating sculptures that are modern and minimal in form. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces, and corporate and private collections. The essential issues that are explored in Tarik’s sculptures are those of gravity, balance, movement, stasis and all addressed with formal beauty and fineness that belays the underlying exactitude of the mathematical calculations. The scientific is presented with the magical imagination that compels us to probe into the world of rules laws not always associated with the subjective expressiveness of art. We partake in this feast of unexpected connections to learn about the endless possibilities of artists vision to shatter the accustomed understanding of creativity and perception of beauty." #leilahellergallery #leilahellerny #tarikcurrimbhoy #sculptureinmotion
