Alex Lockwood’s upcoming exhibition at Oz Arts this February will encompass a dynamic range of sculptural works that together embody the artist’s most ambitiously realized vision to date. The exhibition will feature large scale kinetic sculpture in conjunction with fixed wall works and a suite of delicate individual sculptures all made from discarded consumer products and packaging. Together these works represent the artist’s conception of the continuum of the personal and the public, as told through three distinct viewpoints: the interior of the individual self, the surface of the individual body, and the relationship between distinct bodies.

The grace, vibrant color and formal beauty of Lockwood’s work belie their granular construction from thousands of bottle caps, shotgun shells, notched bread wrapper tabs, and losing lottery tickets. For this exhibition the artist has engineered gigantic versions of his well known smaller works that can be swung, smashed, and spun – all creating thunderous tones and storms of sound – in an interactive environment that will fill Oz’s main performance space.
