looks familiar,
like this “Delicious Monster” as it is called by the artist Dan Lam,
it might be because we have featured her work a couple of times before, “Center of Attention”
Lam,
has a substantial following of over 200,000 on Instagram, “Come Together”
She uses
her site to integrate her social media presence: a dedicated page in
the navigation is filled with colorful behind-the-scenes videos and photos of
her studio practice, “Recreational”
“I think the mystery of the materials and how they come
together piques the viewer’s curiosity, especially digitally,” Lam explains.
“Maybe they spend a little extra time on it—whether that be looking, trying to
sneak a touch at a gallery show, or Googling the materials.” “Complexion”
although
Lam’s sculptures are sought after for collectors and gallery shows—including a
solo show on view this month at Hashimoto
Contemporary in New York City—the artist shares that she is excited by
the range of opportunities for artists to share their work, “Getting Soft”
“In the past few years, I’ve noticed there have been more
and more opportunities for visual artists through all kinds of different
outlets, from companies hiring artists to do murals inside workspaces to cities
funding public art. Fine art seems to be seeping into the mainstream culture.
It’s creating a larger space for artists to exist that wasn’t there when I was
growing up.” “Undertone”
If you look at our earlier post of the artists, I make mention of them looking like, 'The Blob', “Long Term”
and they still do, imagine walking home late at night and seeing this on the pavement, scary indeed!
