Alex Chinneck Unveils Whimsical Sculptural Lamps at Assembly Bristol
At Assembly Bristol in the United Kingdom, the latest waterfront location, artist Alex Chinneck has unveiled a collection of sculptural street lamps that combine traditional allure with unexpected elements. Made from steel, Chinneck’s works reinvent Victorian-style lampposts using whimsical shapes: two lamps bend into a dramatic bow, while another pair entwine closely together, a gesture the artist refers to as “First Kiss at Last Light.” A solitary, upright lamp post concludes the scene, offering a contrast between the surreal and a hint of familiarity.
