Brian Nissen: Bronze Sculptures
East Gallery and Project Wall
January 29 - March 31, 1998

Brian Nissen, a British artist was born in 1939, went to Mexico at age 23 and stayed for 17 yearsówith frequent visits since. Taking this experience as a starting point, Nissen has developed an extensive body of work inspired by great cultural myths and history. The glyph, the codex, and the temple are three pre-Columbian forms that inspire his work. Nissen's sculptures often evoke organic and archetectonic forms, shapes and spaces with a poetic sense of landscape. This exhibition will feature bronze sculptures from different series he has developed over the last five years.
