Shawn Burkard at Bruno David Gallery January 21, 2011

In the Front Room, the gallery presents an installation/sculpture titled “ORANGES / MEGALITHIC” by Shawn Burkard. The sculpture is composed of 300 vinyl orange blocks representing a youth generated subculture, while Ancient Egyptian pyramids inspire the installation’s structure. The individual “Orange” block contour is derived from Shawn Burkard’s two-dimensional designs of “Letterless Alphabet” series along with works from the “Over and Over” exhibition. The compilation of past and present develop puzzling yet simple lines that create depth and volume in the work.
