‘The Resistible Rise Of A Bear of Little Brain’ – An exhibition by Stephen Ives
Stephen Ives is an architect of fantastic worlds.
Stephen Ives, employs a rare level of expert craftsmanship to present an unfiltered and lucid exploration of his brilliant imagination. Ives’ subconscious pours free-style poetry into his sculptures and illustrations, lacing his work with a playful language of archetypal symbols and colours.
As his audience, we are free to enjoy the surreal, superficial brilliance of a B17 Bomber with a baby’s face or a gun turret placed in dissected eyeball. However, if we choose to delve deeper into his work there is hidden meaning in each and every detail, waiting for us to decipher.
