Breuer-Weil’s marble sculpture Hidden, is a highlight of 2024’s Art in Mayfair Sculpture Trail, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Arts and Bond Street. Hidden is being exhibited alongside public works by Sean Scully, Dame Elisabeth Frink, Henry Moore and Antony Gormley.
Breuer-Weil’s permanent sculpture Reflection Soho also features in this year’s trail which runs from 10 June – 7 July 2024.
Breuer-Weil comments: “With Hidden I brought together in one piece many of my concerns as an artist, partially hidden or submerged elements, in this case a whole figure partially revealed in the vein-like, flesh-like Vatican red marble, a paradox as flesh will decompose but this stone is potentially timeless, it could last for millennia, this breathing, emerging, mysterious human presence. I love the idea of bringing streaked, coloured marble to life through carving, suggesting the antithesis between the stone and a mortal breathing human”.
