Christopher Hart Chambers reviews Anna-Willi Highfield‘s exhibition Spirit Faces at Olsen Gruin Gallery in New York City.
Up front by the gallery's storefront window on the Orchange Street strip on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, which is now perhaps the premier location for current fine art, stands a construction of sheet brass shards, with straight, think brass rods projecting outwards in all directions, extending like rays of light or exclamation points.

After a 10-plus year hiatus, Australian artist Anna-Wili Highfield has
returned with a collection of mixed media sculptures. Titled ‘Spirit
Faces’, the sculptures are currently being shown at Olsen Gallery’s New
York City outpost, Olsen Gruin.
The show is Anna’s first fully
conceived body of work in over a decade and follows on from the
gallery’s calendar of other strong shows representing some pretty
excellent Australian artists: Stephen Ormandy, George Byrne, Leila
Jeffreys, and the super cool TV Moore.

A selection of thought-provoking, mixed media sculptures.
After the clean and minimal photographs of sunny LA which provided a vibrant glimpse into the urban landscape of California, New York-based gallery Olsen Gruin presents the work of a strikingly different artist. Anna-Wili Highfield‘s Spirit Faces exhibition features mixed media sculptures that create an intriguing collection. Made of a blend of glamorous materials, brass, and spray painting finishes, the intricate artworks draw the viewer closer. Animals and body parts combine in carefully shaped sculptures that often remind of a self-portrait.
