Tom Sachs
Tom Sachs is a New York based artist. His genre defying mixed media sculptures, often recreations of modern icons using everyday materials, show all of the work that goes into producing an object - a reversal of modernization’s trend towards products with cleaner, simpler, and more perfect edges. Sachs’s sculptures are conspicuously handmade; lovingly cobbled together from plywood, resin, steel, and ceramic. The scars and imperfections in the sculptures tell the story of how it came into being and remove it from the realm of miraculous conception. His studio team of twenty functions like a teaching hospital, or cult, that worships plywood and an ethos of transparency. For more information see https://www.tomsachs.com
