Kibbutz Maabarot, 1967. Lives and works in London.

Guy Bar-Amotz’s new work is a reflection on time and transformation in the act of making sculpture, and a playful exploration of how sculpture might make a direct, unpretentious address to our everyday life and culture. But Bar-Amotz uses the new sophistication of his technology not only to collage objects into single, synthetic forms, but also to collage different stylistic approaches to the sculpted object: for example, there are more than a few references in these new sculptures — often almost quotations — to the work of the Italian Futurist sculptor Umberto Boccioni.
