Holly Hendry's 'Gum Souls' at Frutta Gallery, Rome

London-based sculptor Holly Hendry (born 1990) presents 'Gum Souls' at Frutta Gallery in Rome, a solo exhibition featuring disassembled anatomies made from pigmented plaster, marble, cement, medical dressing boxes, and toy parts. The show includes a foot, digestive and respiratory systems, a brain, and a prone human body, arranged to challenge spatial perception through unusual two-dimensionality. Hendry's craftsmanship combines transparency with caricatural silhouettes, reducing the human body to a sculptural skeleton of solids and voids. The works evoke 1980s board games that exposed bodily mechanisms in verisimilar ways, creating a familiar sensation organized by the mind. The exhibition was reviewed by Silvia Mattina for Artribune.
