Alien 2 is on public display for the duration of the Mayfair Sculpture Trail and Mayfair Art Weekend under the aegis of E & R Cyzer, from 1st June – 27th June, 2021. The sculpture is situated outside Louis Vuitton and Dior, on New Bond St, Mayfair, London W1S 3UQ. The Mayfair Sculpture Trail includes works by Julian Opie, Anthony Gormley, Henry Moore and Elizabeth Frink. Related works by Breuer-Weil, including Alien (120 cm), are on exhibition at the E & R Cyzer gallery, together with paintings and works on paper by modern masters inducing Miro, Picasso and Dubuffet for the duration of Mayfair Art Weekend and the Mayfair Sculpture Trail.
Alien 2 is a striking, recent, highly-textured version of Breuer-Weil’s iconic series of outsiders that have crash-landed to Earth. Other works in the series include Alien, exhibited by Westminster Council in Grosvenor Gardens, London; Sotheby’s Beyond Limits, Chatsworth House; the National Trust, UK; Kings Cross, London as part of Breuer-Weil’s Christie’s Private Sales Exhibition and permanently at the Museo Berardo, Lisbon.
“I have just done an ambitious virtual exhibition at a UK Museum that is still on; but with Alien 2 I wanted to land a massive physical entity to express our re-entry into the real world and nothing could be more real and physical than a twelve foot sculpture. The subject of an Alien is not only an extra terrestrial, but anyone who feels alienated from a place or society. I like the idea of impressing that thought upon one of the most luxurious venues in the world, Mayfair.” David Breuer-Weil, June 2021).
