“Sculpting Earth, Painting Sensations”

“Sculpting Earth, Painting Sensations” is a collaboration between sculptor Seyni Awa Camara and painter John McAllister, currently up at Almine Rech. Together, the artists’ work seems to emanate from the Earth. Camara’s sculptures comprise bodies carved from terracotta, column-like and solid. McAllister’s paintings stand in stark contrast to the minimalism of Camara’s bodies: they are rich and luxurious, with a color palette evocative of sunrises. Installed together in the gallery, they offer a feeling of wholeness.
