Christina Kruse’s latest body of sculptural work, “Base and Balance,” completed over the last two years is now on view at Helwaser Gallery. Drawing connections between geometric and organic forms, Kruse’s artistic practice thrives on the notion of bringing together multiple materials into cohesive abstract forms. Counterbalancing primary shapes and forms—made out of wood, bronze, and occasionally, brass—are weighted by intense shades of black, grey, and white. As a whole, Kruse’s works achieve a sense of equilibrium. Although characterized by geometry and line, her sculptures contain a distinct uncanniness to the human figure, inviting viewers to imagine beyond its formal limits. Base and Balance is on view through July 25 at Helwaser Gallery 833 Madison Avenue, New York. photographs courtesy of Helwaser Gallery.
