Raze the Container Hosted by Chateau La Coste in the Renzo Piano Pavillion.
September 5th - October 15th 2025.
September 5th - October 15th 2025.
To raze the container is to free what was never meant to be held.
This exhibition will comprise of sculptural work from 2022, and new paintings created in 2025, which book end a challenging time of creative block for the artist, a subsequent disintegration of ego and identity and a journey back to a different self. It reflects on the nuances of the human experience and offers reflection for the continued unfolding of what identity means in an ever changing internal and external world.
Here, the "container" is the self: both a physical form that can be taken apart and rebuilt, and a philosophical metaphor for the unseen forces that shape us—time, language, perception, and consciousness. It questions inherited and self-imposed structures, who we are, and who we should be, proposing that true transformation and liberation comes from their collapse.
This is presented with an introspective painting practice documenting the acquiescence and renewing process of the artists identity, that displays a striking contrast to and offers a counterpoint to the assured, resolved nature of the earlier sculptural pieces.
