THE SEXUAL BRONZE SHOW

Lora Reynolds Gallery

From the Lora Reynolds announcement:

Lora Reynolds is pleased to announce THE SEXUAL BRONZE SHOW, an exhibition of sculptures, photographs, and collages by Bettina Hubby—her first show at the gallery. The sculptures are enigmatic pairs of items one might find at a grocery store—a fresh kiwi and a disposable BIC razor, a yam and a dispenser of dental floss. But each object has been cast in bronze and precisely patinated (permanently colored with chemicals and heat) to appear nearly identical to its referent.

Hubby also depicts each pair of objects in a pair of photographs. One picture shows the two objects as individuals, like lovers on opposite sides of a king-size bed. The second photograph shows the objects interacting with each other, revealing how they might behave behind closed doors. The razor shaves the fuzzy kiwi. The dental floss wraps tightly around a bulging, veiny yam. Hubby’s objects suggest body parts, kinky fantasies, adventurous sex, and gentle lovemaking.
