Lines To Make Volumes 
Jonathan Gonzalez & Hugo Montoya

Tile Blush is pleased to present Lines To Make Volumes, an exhibition of the work of Jonathan Gonzalez and Hugo Montoya at Intersect Chicago, the future of SOFA [Sculpture, Objects, Furniture, Art and Design]. Online November 06 – 12, 2020.

Lines To Make Volumes includes a selection of sculptures and objects by the artist Hugo Montoya and the architect and designer, Jonathan Gonzalez. Disparate objects are linked in the exhibition through a fundamental understanding of points, lines, and planes and the relationship between form and our own basic humanity. 

The playful humanoid sculptures of Hugo Montoya animate muscle suits in a series of sculptures critically referential to popular culture of the past 50 years and art history far more broadly. In the work, simple gestures render objects “aesthetically” with near functional qualities. In much the same way the works of Jonathan Gonzalez cannibalize simple geometries creating both sculpture and sculptural everyday objects. Collectively the work asks simple questions about our humanity and the ways in which we interact with the physical world and each other through the objects around us.
