www.contemporaryartgallery.caRobert Orchardson: Endless façadeCONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 18-Jan 15, 2012 British sculptor RobertOrchardson earned a Fine Art MA at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2004. He hassince exhibited his ephemeral work in London, Birmingham, Dundee, Dublin, Munich, Berlin,Rome and Chicago among othercities. Endless façade was organized inconjunction with Ikon Gallery,Birmingham.Inspired by science fiction aswell as futuristic architecture anddesign, Orchardson creates proplikesculptures that, despite thematerials – wood, resin and epoxycoatedsteel – appear to launchthemselves weightlessly through theair of the gallery spaces. Whethergrounded or suspended, they arequintessentially elegant and quitemagical, as if scaffolding or a fallingbridge was freeze-framed.Endless façade (2011) was createdin response to Isamu Noguchi’sstage sets for the 1955 RoyalRobert Orchardson, Endless façade (2011), view of installation at Ikon Gallery,Birmingham, England [Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 18-Jan 15Shakespeare Company production of King Lear. Noguchi’s abstract, mobile forms created a shiftinglandscape against which the play unfolded. Revisiting Noguchi’s designs, Orchardson constructedhuge monochrome wall pieces, a jigsaw of interlocking triangular shapes, that serve asbackdrops for the highly-coloured open-work structures.
