Overview
Dan Lam sculpture, detail view

Sweetmeats embodies the allure of beautiful confections and their propensity towards over indulgence and sickness. The soft, oozing textures of the work are sensual, "something to be savored," while also hinting at hidden dangers.... Each work lures the viewer in closer, at their own peril.

Hashimoto Contemporary SF is pleased to present Sweetmeats, a solo exhibition by Texas-based artist Dan Lam. Returning for her third solo exhibition with the gallery, Lam's organic sculptures are at once reminiscent of candy colored desserts and toxin laden sea creatures. Each work lures the viewer in closer, at their own peril.

 

Continuing her exploration of the push and pull of opposing ideas within her work, the works in Sweetmeats embody the allure of beautiful confections and their propensity towards over indulgence and sickness. The soft, oozing textures of the work are sensual, "something to be savored," while also hinting at hidden dangers. Capturing a sense of movement and organic growth, each form spills forth from a hidden internal structure or spring waiting to ensnare the viewer.

 

Dan Lam's work continues to evolve utilizing new materials and processes to create new forms, textures and color. This body of sculptures incorporates a slower, more methodical resin technique allowing the artist to "spend more time with each mark" within the works. New glazing and finishing techniques create new depths and riots of color, adding to the ever present sense of experimentation, curiosity and play within her work.
