New book from an internationally renowned Belgian sculptor Tahon s work
will be showcased in West Adams as part of Human Condition from October
1st 2016 through November 30, 2016 Johan Tahon is a Belgian sculptor who
has exhibited his work internationally since 1994, having first been
discovered by art curator and museum director Jan Hoet. Tahon made his
mark at the internationally renowned exhibition 'De Rode Poort', where
he was given the chance to interact with other world-famous artists.
Since then, he has had a slew of his own solo exhibitions as well as
collaborative ones with artists such as Ilya Kabakov, Gunther Forg, Tony
Cragg and Stephan Balkenhol. Tahon s famous sculptures remind the
onlooker of human figures, albeit with a high degree of unnaturalness.
In that he share an affinity with the works of Alberto Giacometti. With
his long silhouettes, Tahon connects the artist with the beholder of his
works through negative space. Tahon s latest work will be shown with
other contemporary artists at the site-specific exhibition, Human
Condition, in West Adams, Los Angeles from October 1st 2016 through
November 30, 2016."
