Kelley similarly embraced unconventional and synthetic materials in sculptural work that blurred the boundary between functional objects and fine art, sharing West's irreverent approach to form and materiality in contemporary sculpture.
Erwin Wurm
Austrian · b. 1954
As a fellow Austrian sculptor, Wurm works with synthetic and everyday materials to create lacquered and brightly finished sculptural objects that challenge conventional notions of form and function, closely mirroring West's aesthetic sensibility.
Sylvie Fleury
Swiss · b. 1961
Fleury employs lacquered surfaces and synthetic materials in sculptural multiples that share West's glossy industrial finish and playful engagement with object status, making her work visually and conceptually comparable to this fiberglass piece.
