Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present The Cavern of Lost Dreams (nine characters), an exhibition of all new artworks by Swiss artist Claudia Comte. Comprising of sculptures, paintings, and site-specific works, this exhibition highlights the artists multidisciplinary approach to artmaking and perceptive investigation of the materiality of both natural and fabricated elements. Using mediums such as wood, marble, bronze, ceramic, and paint, Comte creates imaginative forms and landscapes that question competing notions of industrial production verses handmade craftsmanship, high versus low culture, and fact versus fiction.
