Wire mesh represents one of the purest manifestations of fractals – that geometric repetition of self-similarity. 

 It is this cold repetition of a two dimensional industrial material, when distorted into complex curves of space that creates, with no change of the actual surface area of the material, the subtle expression of the human body through a physical manipulation and caress of cold steel with only the hands. Mesh represents one of the purest manifestations of fractals – that geometric repetition of self-similarity. 
From a single square, progressing to grid of four, then 16, and eventually upward to as many as a quarter of a million individual squares in the largest of sculptures - 
each square a replication of the next larger in a geometric progression.

Since the 1980’s, Mr. Wiger has exhibited his work in galleries throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, and his sculptures are to be found in collections throughout the world. 
 
Raymond Wiger makes his home in Taos, New Mexico.  Projects, shows, exhibitions and Artist in Residencies take him across the United States and to Europe, Asia and South America each year.
Antebellum is pleased to present RAY WIGER'S first solo exhibit in Los Angeles.
