ART : FIVE MASTERPIECES OF 2013

Paige Bradley created one of the most striking sculptures in recent times. Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light. “From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession,” says Bradley.



 “I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside.

 "Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in." ~Leonard Cohen

 Aaron Curry (represented by Almine Rech Gallery) contributed "Daft Dank Space" (2013), which does exactly that. A free-standing structure, colored inside and out in neon zebra-skinned patterns and paint swipes, the piece and its bright busyness invite you to step inside.
