1965 – 2015 Galerie Buchholz

Nicholas Monro

* 1936 in London, Great Britain

The sculptures made of fibreglass and painted by Nicholas Monro reflect the human body in fresh and unexpected volumes. They frequently depict people in motion and range from trance caused by dancing to a frantic race. Most of the themes are taken from popular entertainment (such as television) and dancing. If it corresponds with the subject, the depiction is grotesque; if an expression of inner movement is required, the sculptor also carves it out by presenting the faces of well-known artists. Most of Monro’s sculptures are groupings of people. The overall impression is that of exhilarating freshness.
