MADDOX GALLERY & ANNABEL'S SHOWCASE WORKS BY JOSEPH KLIBANSKY
This month, Maddox Gallery collaborated with Annabel’s for an immersive exhibition celebrating creativity in the heart of Mayfair. Marking a highlight of London’s busy arts calendar this month, Maddox Gallery and Annabel’s showcased a series of bronze sculptures by artist Joseph Klibansky throughout the club. This installation celebrated culture and creativity in the heart of London’s most iconic member’s club.
Klibansky (born in Cape Town, 1984), is an emerging artist who has exhibited internationally from LA to Venice, exploring ideas of perception, appearance and reality. Using iconographic and pop culture vernacular, Klibansky's work questions the surface value of his subject matter, exploring the bleak and melancholic through a seemingly utopian lens.
The dynamism, movement and colours of Annabel’s’ distinctive interior provided the perfect backdrop for Klibansky’s perfectly polished animal kingdom. Klibanksy’s eye-catching bronze animals are a playful juxtaposition between symbol and association, including works such Big Bang (2016) which fuse technology with traditional artistic technique.
Jay Rutland, Creative Director of Maddox Gallery commented: “Installed throughout the iconic Annabel’s, Joseph Klibansky’s work creates a juxtaposition between symbol and association that is now presented on a scale never before experienced by fans of Klibansky’s work. We are honoured to be working with Annabel’s and inviting their members to enjoy these artworks this month.”
Maeve Doyle, Artistic Director of Maddox Gallery commented: “The qualities most frequently associated with Annabel’s -grandeur, aesthetic richness, drama, dynamism, emotional highs and a tendency to blur line between fantasy and reality, is the ideal site- specific location for Maddox Gallery to present Joseph Klibansky’s exhibition.”
Joseph Klibansky, Artist commented: “Annabel’s is a beautiful environment, like a handmade art piece in itself. My dream is for Members and their guests to take time discovering these sculptures throughout the Club and enjoy the journey of this collaboration.”
