Buried Alive (2016) is a work by GRAHAM WILSON that is part of his solo exhibition currently on view at Valentin in Paris.
The work consists of a series of mattresses recovered with patchwork made of ‘quilt paintings’, which he has, according to the press release, ‘for several years presented as wall-hanging structures’. These soft sculptures are finally turned into flags and strewn in a pile in the middle of the main gallery.
Buried Alive (2016) echo the patterns of traditional quilts and postmodern compositions, along with historically contiguous modes of painting and sculpture, while dragging the whole installation into a present marked by consumption, global war, and economic collapse.
Cauling All My Contemporaries… (To Come Burst My Bubble) by GRAHAM WILSON is on view at Valentin, Paris until October 8, 2016.
