The Subverted Architecture and Twisted Objects of Alex Chinneck
Birth, death, and a midlife crisis
British sculptor Alex Chinneck (previously) upends the steady, reliable nature of banal structures that we interact with every day through his architectural interventions. Overturned swaths of car parking lots, twisted broomstick handles, and inverted building facades are executed with such precise detail that it is difficult to determine where reality ends and surreality begins. Chinneck describes one particular piece to It’s Nice That as “sculpturally bold but contextually sensitive,” which seems an apt description of his entire body of work. You can see more on his website and Instagram. (via It’s Nice That)

Pick yourself up and pull yourself together
Pick yourself up and pull yourself together
A bullet from a shooting star
