David Altmejd

wood, plywood, perspex, gold chain, Plexiglas, glue

David Altmejd's work presents a complex assemblage of industrial and decorative materials, merging the raw structural qualities of wood and plywood with the transparent luminosity of Perspex and Plexiglas. Gold chain weaves through the composition, introducing an element of opulence and organic flow that contrasts with the rigid architectural framework of the piece. The use of glue as both a functional and visible binding agent hints at the fragile yet deliberate nature of the work's construction, blurring the boundaries between process and finished form.
