Graham Gingles is an Irish sculptor born in 1943 and a member of the Royal Ulster Academy. His multidisciplinary practice combines painting, drawing and sculpture to create objects and scenes of strong narrative and symbolic character, with works held in collections including the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).
The Bride Stripped Bare II takes its title from Marcel Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (also known as The Large Glass, 1915–1923), a work that itself combined glass, wood and mixed media into an enigmatic mechanical tableau. Gingles’ piece carries that same box-and-glass construction into his own idiom, the wooden and glass enclosure again functioning as a small stage holding its contents within a fixed and deliberate architecture.
To collect The Bride Stripped Bare II is to hold a work that places Gingles in direct dialogue with one of the twentieth century’s most enigmatic sculptures, translated through his own distinctive language of box constructions.
