Work: My work reflects my primary interest in the relationship between the mobile viewer and modern architectural space. As exposure to the built environment has increasingly become a banal part of daily life my work provokes the viewer to rethink their surroundings, revoking their sense of spatial- temporal experience.

Shan Hur‘s sculptures interact with the gallery space in a unique way. He embeds his sculptural work inside walls and pillars throughout the space. Each piece almost seems if it is in the middle of being excavated right out of the gallery wall. In this way the sculpture brings the entire gallery into the work of art, and by extenstion its visitors. Interestingly, Hur says of his work:
“One of the issues I have focused on is how to reduce the burden of the volume of sculpture. I then connect this mass to its surroundings, but not just as part of the whole. I think sculpture should communicate with its circumstances.”

London-based artist Shan Hur embeds his sculptures into the walls and pillars of the gallery as if they were hidden treasures excavated from the gallery. Shan allows the gallery to become part of the sculpture by making it essential to the impact of the work. Commenting on his work, Shan says, ““One of the issues I have focused on is how to reduce the burden of the volume of sculpture. I then connect this mass to its surroundings, but not just as part of the whole. I think sculpture should communicate with its circumstances.”
