Бенджамин Фелан
PRISMATIC ICOSAGON CONDENSER

source: juxtapoz

Benjamin Phelan is a Brooklyn-based artist and a Rhode Island School of Design graduate. His sculptures create strange forms out of styrofoam, resin, wood, enamel, and other materials that bring to mind some psychedelic hybrid of Lynda Benglis and Yayoi Kusama. Upon viewing his “Prismatic Floater Pile” from this year, we assume that his artwork is meant to bring you to his own planet where the possibilities are limitless.

Benjamin Phelan (b.1982) produces inverted monuments, fragile sculptures oriented toward a future of endless personal generation and consumption. Confusing vision with form, encouraged by digital and thermal tools, Phelan retraces mineral, vegetable, and optical cycles in the ubiquitous extrusion topology of semisolid functional air waste, Styrofoam. Phelan has recently shown in “Future Touch” at Hionas, Brooklyn, “Border Food” at Loyal, Malmo, and “The Parsippany Incident” at 247365, Brooklyn. Currently, he is participating in “Bathymetry” at Del Vaz Projects, Los Angeles, and “Ritual Magic” at Greenpoint Terminal, Brooklyn, where he lives and works.
