Artist

Sculpture
Widely hailed as one of the most ambitious artists of his generation, Matthew Barney’s surrealistic and visually arresting multimedia work – fusing sculptural installation with performance and video art – has earned a cult following. Throughout his oeuvre, Barney foregrounds biology, eroticism and the athletic ideal amid symbol and myth to create compelling explorations of creation, destruction and regeneration.
