Winter’s Embrace : A fusion of steel, light and fire
Looking forward to Gene' McLaren’s exhibition launch Friday 21 June under a Winter Solstice sky.
"Winter's Embrace: A Fusion of steel, light and fire" invites you to experience a captivating fusion of art and light. Nestled within the tranquil grounds of Blenheim Garden and Gallery, embrace the winter season!
This exhibition showcases a stunning array of sculptures by Gene McLaren, crafted from corten steel, stainless steel, and concrete, incorporating LED lighting. Drawing on inspiration from the theory that all that is “composed- decomposes” infused with elements of traditional architecture and design, each bearing the mark of McLaren’s vision and passion.
As daylight wanes, the sculptures come alive under the gentle caress of carefully choreographed lighting, casting intricate shadows that dance with the rhythm of the night. From bold and imposing structures to delicate and intricate forms, the artists' mastery of steel breathes life into the cold embrace of winter, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a symphony of shapes and shadows, where every sculpture tells a story of resilience, strength, and the eternal dance between light and darkness.
