"Flowers and Fruits" is a sculpture that Cruces made part of his show "Eavesdropping" at Blue Velvet Projects. In both the show and in "Flowers and Fruits", Cruces gives us a perspective of a dry future, with humour and reality colliding into something like hope.
About the Artist
Adam Cruces (b. 1985) is interested in how we interact with the environment, while incorporating a wide variety of material approaches - painting, sculpture, and video. These elements often culminate in installations that collapse notions of obligation and leisure, nature and domestication, the familiar and the foreign. Adam currently lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland.
