Maxwell Mustardo: The Substance of Style

The exhibition is Maxwell Mustardo’s first New York solo show, The Substance of Style, at Culture Object. At the core of the exhibition is Maxwell's development of several archetypical forms in ceramic, pushed and pulled in proportion and scale. Their alteration conjures cartoonish digital variations while anticipating the transmogrification that time and ever-changing demands perform on traditional shapes as they weather history’s progress. Each of the forms, the Amphora, Gadroon and Stack, are rendered in monumental scale as exalted representations of his new symbolic typologies. The exhibition will include his largest works to-date: huge 4-5 feet tall Amphora, which have never been displayed before.
