About
Why this artist matters now
Alan Saret works in wire, drawing, and installation to create intricate, gestural sculptural forms that occupy a space between minimalism and expressionism. His wire sculptures accumulate into dense, organic networks that shift between geometric precision and hand-drawn spontaneity. Based in Brooklyn, Saret's practice emphasizes the materiality of line itself, allowing the viewer to trace both the physical structure and the indexical mark of its making.
