We have selected Richard Deacon's 'HD' as work of the month. It is a classical example of his sculpture, being a virtuoso skeletal construction that recalls both engineering and anatomy. The complex forms evoke both the physicality of the material world but also the interiority of the body. 'HD' is shown in our current exhibition 'Richard Deacon: The Inside', which continues in the gallery until 25 July and comprises new works that developed out of the artist’s fascination with the versatility and commodity of cardboard and his exploratory use of ceramic. Deacon is also the subject of a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Strasbourg from 5 June to 19 September.
