Nevine Mahmoud’s exhibition “in mass and feeling” continues at the gallery on 6 Minerva Street. In “in mass and feeling”, Nevine Mahmoud presents four sculptures: Cottage door, Tricycle (bone), Romantic shutters and fawn (she). In these new works, materials are simplified, concentrated and intensified. Mahmoud replaces the physical familiarity of certain recognisable objects with a surface texture and density that contradicts: hollow plastic becomes solid, soft skin becomes cold and hard. Building on an established visual language, the artist examines the forms of children’s toys in three works with an uncharacteristically representational approach. In place of an inquiry rooted in manipulation and distortion, this strategy exposes their specificity. Raised onto monolithic, sterilising aluminium plinths and carved into marble or cast in resin, Mahmoud relocates her renderings of Little Tikes toys in a tension between associations of cheap plastic, nostalgia and the classical permanence of stone. As if spectres of a childhood fantasy, a pair of shutters, an opening door and a deconstructed tricycle sit alienated atop their distanced pedestals, like an abandoned castle protruding from the edge of a cliffside.
