OBJECT ALCHEMY : New Sculpture by Lee Hoag
AXOM Home & Gallery
661 South Ave.
Apr 3, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Hoag’s work has a rich history in the “readymade,” surrealism and the unconscious.  Using found objects as material, he interchanges them and formulates them in his creative process, this he refers to as “alchemy of objects” – the transformation that occurs from utilitarian objects when they are reconfigured into a hybrid form, an object of art. Through experimentation and intuitive invention ‘Object Alchemy’ consists of objects that initially were made for other intended purposes altered to carry new meaning and associations, enhanced by the witty play on words in the titles.  Each work is carefully crafted in form with shape, line, material and scale. “The essential ingredient is the transmutation of the object parts in which new relationships emerge and meaning alters.” – L. Hoag. Exhibition runs from March 27thApril 25, 2015.
