From his distinctive floor works, striped from wall to wall with vibrant electrical tape, to his paint-soaked mattresses, Lambie adroitly sculpts humour and pathos from the clutter of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with items immediately at hand, as well as those sourced in second-hand and hardware stores, he resurrects record decks, speakers, clothing, accessories, doors, and mirrors to form sculptural elements in larger compositions. Lambie prioritises sensory pleasure over intellectual response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe selects materials that are familiar and have a strong personal resonance, so that they offer a way into the work as well as a springboard to a psychological space beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJim Lambie\u003c\/em\u003e not only serves as a definitive mid-career survey but also as a major reframing of the artist's work.
