Opening January 15, 6-9pm The Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco is pleased to announce an exhibit of work by Andy Coolquitt. The show will include new work by the Austin, TX and New York-based sculptor. Coolquitt reconstructs found objects into illuminated installations that suggest their own quiet universe. These stark sculptures, fashioned from of old pipes and urban debris, together create a minimal interior setting that call to mind "temporary living spaces" and a kind of make-shift domesticity. Despite their humble origins, the pieces of "trash" are utterly transformed under Coolquitt’s formal hand. With an almost architectural approach, the artist reinvigorates the discarded materials with new purpose and context. His work is known for blending the realms of urban landscapes, architecture, and sculpture. This is Andy Coolquitt’s first show at Jack Hanley Gallery. He is represented by Lisa Cooley Gallery in New York, where the solo show, iight, was mounted in 2008. Coolquitt received his BFA from the University of Texas and attend UCLA and University of Texas, Austin graduate programs.
