Review : Away we go

Review : Away we go

Evan Hobart creates edgy political sculptures.  His works depict over-industrialized factories and cities attached in a leach-like manner to ancient bones. The use of skulls from prehistoric times show a direct connection to fossil fuels.  They function also as a symbol of death.

The biological forms resemble the mechanical similar to a H.R. Giger.  “Away we go” strongly exposes this symbiotic relation.  The craftsmanship is unique, sleekly combining ceramic and other mixed sculpture medias into one succinct form. The teeth on “Frackasaurus” stand out with a transparent glassiness in contrast to the adjacent matte bones and construction. 

Hobart’s work is darkly fun with a heavy dose of social commentary. Follow his work on his website, and here on SharksEatMeat.
