Shoot The Lobster Luxembourg is pleased to present Sweet Potato, an exhibition featuring works by Olga Balema, David Flaugher and Win McCarthy.

Within Sweet Potato, these artists transform the gallery space into a series of epical scenes that instinctively connect the art object with an everyday sensibility. Through these investigative and intuitive methods, the sculptural elements on view come together to create expressive narratives that meditate on the physicality of forms and the vulnerability of materials. The result is an environment in flux, through which open-ended transformations occur and a sentimental, artistic vocabulary can emerge.
