Bruno David is pleased to present Upended, a sculpture installation by multi-disciplinary artist Judith Shaw. The exhibition will be on view from April 4 through June 21, 2025, at the gallery’s WINDOW ON FORSYTH location, accessible 24/7 at 7513 Forsyth Blvd., Saint Louis (Downtown Clayton), MO. This is Shaw’s second solo exhibition with Bruno David Gallery. ‘Upended’ is part of a sculptural series that turns roadside tire debris into emotionally charged pieces about disintegration and integration. The work is informed by the expressive potential inherent in the raw material. “Explosive, gutted tire casings evoke the impulsive pace of our world and the outer and inner turbulence that erupts as a consequence, Shaw says. The debris forms a conversation about fragmentation, alienation, and dislocation. When gathering rubber along the highways, with cars and trucks speeding past me, the air and ground vibrating, I experience viscerally the fraying of personal and interpersonal connection. The chaos lingers in the character of the sculptural forms. At the same time, the womb-like shape speaks to human-to-human connection and intimacy.”
