PILLAR 0F STRENGTH
Hew Lorimer, Talbot Rice Art Gallery, Edinburgh There is a prolound sense at gravitas and restraint as you go into this well spaced, well displayed exhibition in the elegant sculpture court at the Talbot Rice, and the source at it at tirst is not easy to locate. It's not just the stone materials that Lorimer chooses to work with, nor that the stone is cut in simple, clean lines with a minimum oi decorative detail. It’s rather that each piece retains the solid block-like lorm it was cut lrom. The pieces contrast well with what look like 18th century bronzes permanently displayed in the cases lining the walls. There ligures twist and spiral in space creating a complexity at planes and deliberately catch the light on richly patinated surlaces. By contrast, nothing in Lorimer’s scultpures is allowed to disturb the pillar-like outline. Space is delined with mass and volume. not explored as a dynamic. Moreover, they otter a very tormal viewpoint to the spectator. They are designed to be seen lrorn the tront or lrom the sides, in two dimensions not three. Many have a religious theme and as such they are calm, ordered, quiet and above all sell-contained. (Sally Kinnes)
