Gabriel Sierra is a conceptual artist working across painting, sculpture and installation. Shifting from the miniature scale with domestic objects, plastic fruit and office stationery, to large-scale, site specific and architectonic installations, his practice activates the viewer to reexamine social and behavioral codes. His installations are insertions into exhibition spaces: They might replace a white museum wall with a grid-like wooden framework, or suspend a section of gallery flooring from the ceiling, expand and explode a window frame outwards, or elongate and abstract a section of skirting board. In these spatial deconstructions, Sierra’s practice combines the anthropological with the architectural, creating uncanny worlds that destabilise instincts and allow us to critically examine the ways in which we are governed within space. Through these methods, his sculptural installations build upon the formal and conceptual languages of Minimalism and Institutional Critique, focusing on the negative space and the human scale, and the unseen labour, construction and processes behind an exhibition. Through a playful emphasis on humour and self-observation, Sierra promotes these subtle relationships between utility, subjectivity and form.
