Welcoming William Lasdun to Woolff Gallery.
Working in black and white laquered HDF, Lasdun creates refined three-dimensional wall pieces defined by the quiet drama of light and shadow.
With a background shaped by the ideals of Brutalist or Minimalist architecture — his father, Sir Denys Lasdun, designed Southbank's Royal National Theatre — his practice explores form as something activated by illumination, depth and spatial rhythm.
The works on view next week at Affordable Art Fair Battersea draw on natural phenomena: ocean swells, water flow, rip-tides, but equally give the impression of concrete forms: shifting dunes, geological contours and tectonic movement. Each piece subtly transforms light as it moves across its surface, revealing a continuous interplay between structure and atmosphere.
Lasdun’s career includes commissions across the fields of art and architecture - from set design collaborations with the English National Opera, to project proposals for Chichester Cathedral, and site-specific works connected to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection during the Venice Biennale alongside numerous international projects in Japan, Switzerland and the USA.
We are delighted to present his work as part of our ongoing focus on three-dimensional wall installations.
