Fashion, Architecture, Figuration and Abstraction.

Diane Simpson Solo Show at Corbett vs. Dempsey Through March 23.


She is a serious craftswoman, a quality difficult to find in the current art world. After Minimalism and the rise of conceptualism in the 1960s, contemporary art does not seem to give much significance to handicraft, a method associated with tradition and domesticity. Simpson’s sculptures, so intimately crafted as they are, never stop appearing fresh, vital, modern and radical as they subtly move across (and so address) diverse aesthetics and visual art languages including fashion, architecture, figuration and abstraction.
