Gareth Lichty, solo exhibition
Oreen Cohen, Darkest Dark
March 26 – April 24, 2021
Gareth Lichty’s work is predicated upon the obsessive repurposing of common materials to make artworks that address scale and materiality. Lichty’s sculptural practice consists of manipulating manufactured and natural materials such as garden hose, construction fence, field marking tape, grass sod and non-invasive plants. Referring to the vernacular of suburban infrastructure and exploring industrial and handmade techniques, Lichty creates structures through repetition, materiality, and scale. His working methods come from thousands of hours of careful and sustained labor drawn from his training as an athlete and his experience working in assembly line manufacturing factories. His work explores mass-production, manufacturing processes, and post-industrial spaces using ubiquitous materials to render large-scale structures.
