Patrick Bongoy - Desert Flower
About the Item
In its usual form, rubber is inert and impermeable, absorbent of almost all light and colour. Patrick Bongoy’s studio operates like a factory in reverse, transforming stockpiles of the industrial material into various states of textile-like plasticity through manual intervention. Deployed in both figurative and abstract scenarios, it takes on an expressivity that surprises, satisfies and confronts; here falling like drapery, there forming armour-like platelets.
Through his intensely physical engagement with his medium – by cutting, stitching, weaving, braiding, wrestling with and manipulating his materials –
he is reaching, paradoxically, for the unseen. He reaches for an ‘other’ knowledge, an untrammelled humanity that binds us. Towards themes of wider resonance with the human condition, beyond the physical aspects of our identities, and what personal or collective liberation and fulfilment of our purpose means. Desert Flower typifies the unique and dexterous relationship Bongoy has cultivated with his chosen medium, offering the harsh material a lightness and unexpected delicacy.
