Alexander Hoda, Punchline
|
Born Canterbury, UK 1980.
Currently lives and works in London.
Hoda’s figurative groupings of deformed, post-apocalyptic creatures are finished in his signature materials of latex and rubber. Shocking and controversial scenes show animals chained or melted together, some in coital acts, consumed by rubber. However, these radical subjects belie the enduring themes the work explores and subvert the canon of classical sculpture in which he works. Hoda’s works shock us into confronting our own fears, anxieties and fantasies; his sculptures challenge us to question our fundamental understanding of love, sex, pride and death.
