IMMORTALITY PROJECT I

SAM JINKS

The work of Sam Jinks draws on our shared fascination with the human figure, a fascination that has long pervaded the history of Western sculpture. Constructed from silicone, fibreglass, resin and often using human hair, the viewer becomes suspended in an intense moment of intimacy with the work, a moment that cannot ordinarily be achieved amongst strangers. As we stare at the figures frozen in states of vulnerability – be it babyhood, old age or quiet contemplation – we glimpse our own vulnerabilities reflected back.

About Savini

Maurizio Savini was born in Rome in 1962. His grandfather, who was an architect and a sculptor, had a strong influence on him. Following his advice, he first chose to study architecture but then decided to move on to studying the History of Art and Spectacle at La Sapienza University in Rome. Once he graduated, he worked as a set designer and assisted famous scenographer Giovanni Dessì. However, he realized later on that this profession was keeping him from his true passion: art. He began with oil painting and then, in 1996, he started making videos, doing performance art, and sculpting using pink chewing gum, which has become the distinctive mark of his work. In 1997, he exhibited at the Macro, and later at the Rome Quadriennale. At the age of 54, Maurizio now has nearly twenty-five years of experience with the sticky substance. He has appeared in over 100 group and 50 solo exhibitions all over the world including London, Paris, Moscow, Madrid, Edinburgh, New Delhi, and Berlin. Maurizio’s body of work also includes stage settings for a number of theater productions and permanent installations, winning him awards in 2004 and 2005 from La Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.
