"Harvey Scott Kaner: Re-nude"
2003-04-12 until 2003-06-12
Annie Su Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, USA United States of America

Annie Su Gallery presents resent sculptural works by Harvey Scott Kaner. "Re-nudes" brings to the viewer a select of interpretations of the human form in numerous media. "Breathing new life into what many would consider useless or worthless trash is exciting. Giving new, artistic value to a part by assigning it a different function, is magical. I use humor, whimsy, and sex in my work to create enjoyment and stimulation, and to offer some levity in our sometimes all-too-serious world," states Kaner

Artist Statement:

My work today is the result of years of experimentation with various media, including stone, bronze, plaster, clay, and found objects. Inspired by nature, the ultimate designer -- along with the creations of great artists and sculptors who preceded me -- I strive to incorporate aspects of my life or interests into my pieces.

My goal is to create sculpture to represent our time, our culture, our disposable society, and skewed mentalities. I do this by using everyday objects recycled in unusual ways. The overabundance of our modern civilization is an opportunity to utilize superfluous items for other-than-intended purposes.
