John Chamberlain — urethane foam, cord
John Chamberlain

urethane foam, cord

John Chamberlain's sculpture presents a raw and tactile exploration of industrial materials, combining the soft, bulging forms of urethane foam with the tension of tightly wound cord. The work reflects Chamberlain's lifelong fascination with compression, constraint, and the transformation of humble materials into dynamic sculptural statements. The interplay between the yielding foam and the binding cord creates a charged visual dialogue between confinement and expansion.
