About The Work
Exploring the intersections of architecture, design and nature, the work of Scottish artist Martin Boyce is based on a visual language of shapes, lines and pictorial representations. Often resembling runes, the short, text-like lines of his printed works are also found throughout his sculptural installations. The interactions of angles and dangling shapes bring a contemporary terminology to his unique style. In No Brilliantly Colored Birds, the artist makes reference to his ‘bird box’ sculpture in a vacated Italian Palazzo. To create the piece, Boyce pulled from his own short text about an abandoned zoo, describing “warm dry stone and palm leaves, no elephants, no giraffes, no penguins, no brilliantly colored birds.”
