Slewe Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition Folds with new works by British sculptor Lesley Foxcroft. The exhibition will open during the opening of the season weekend on Friday 5 September and Saturday 6 September and will be on view until October 4, 2025.
Foxcroft is known for her works created in MDF. But she also uses other ordinary materials, such as rubber, card and paper. Her use of these ordinary, everyday products, is an integral part of her expression as a whole: “I like the idea that the uncomplicated has a purpose: that the material does not give a sculpture its value, it is the artist that does’. By methods of folding, cutting, pressing and stacking Foxcroft arranges the material on the floor and up walls to create a dialogue between the two; her installations thereby make the commonplace aesthetic and the two-dimensional architectural. For her show at Slewe Gallery she will exhibit new works created from MDF, copper and iron.
Foxcroft, born in 1949, studied at Camberwell School of Fine Art and has had numerous solo and group shows throughout the UK and Europe from 1974 onwards. This exhibition will be her second exhibition at Slewe Gallery.
