Nathan Mabry

I can think of nothing as “fiercely alluring” (literally) as the open-mouthed skull of a T-Rex, and one with a luscious bronze patina to boot! Nathan Mabry delivers another provocative and mythologically charged visual opus at the Cherry Martin Gallery. Working in a variety of materials including Cor-ten steel, aluminum and bronze, Mabry continues his exegesis into ancient human signs and symbols, including the function of memory, time and the very notion of creation itself. Mabry translations are open-ended, much like the T-Rex’s gaping mandible, and if you look closely, you might fall in, or better yet, get lost there.
