British-Sri Lankan artist Arran Gregory explores the interrelationships between technology and the living world. Through observation of the laws of nature, his works are a dialogue between humanity and the natural environment.
Works question the space between the two and three-dimensional, switching between both, and using sculpture as an extension of drawing. Here, he invites viewers to experience themselves as instinctual, as animal and to re-examine their relationship with the environment.
Life-sized animal and abstract natural forms become characters used by which to connect and explore the primitive human psyche. Through continuous changes and translations in different materials, shapes and scales; works take shape as graphically reduced forms, in both physical and symbolic sense.
Recent works have been exploring the use of earth and raw clay where he has been creating site specific sculptures in the forest directly from found natural materials. He has been reinterpreting ancient practices within a contemporary framework in order to connect the dots between the primitive past and the digital present.
