Irish artist John Redmond presents a new collection of sculptures in his exhibition "Beyond Form" at Gormleys Gallery in Dublin, running from May 22 to June 4. The show marks a significant evolution in his practice, as he moves from abstract painting into three-dimensional works for the first time, using mixed materials such as bronze, resin, and marble, with pieces cast at a foundry in Greece.
The exhibition matters because it represents a notable shift for an established painter into sculpture, highlighting the growing trend of artists expanding their mediums. Redmond's focus on timeless, elegant forms that blend classical and contemporary aesthetics also underscores the enduring appeal of material experimentation in visual art.
