Catharine Czudej (b. 1985, lives and works in New York) presents Happy Birthday. This will be the artist’s first exhibition with Josh Lilley and the first major presentation of Czudej’s work within the UK. Oversized, silhouetted figures cast in sandblasted aluminium stand and kneel in the space. Arms outstretched, bouquets of flowers are offered or weigh them to the floor. Their billowed forms – recalling the balloon models of children’s birthday parties – assume an exaggerated anatomical frame; a distorted metric by which the viewer can reinterpret those objects in view.
