Ricky Swallow: The Bricoleur brings together recent sculpture created since 2004, as well as several groups of watercolours, all of which reveal the artist’s keen interest in making the mundane and the profound.
Renowned for his expertly crafted wooden sculptures that bring to mind the still life tradition, Swallow’s work underscores how memory, longing, and the passage of time are distilled within the humble objects of daily life.
Ricky Swallow is the artist’s first major exhibition in Australia since 2006. Swallow (born 1974, San Remo, Victoria, Australia) currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California, USA .
