"Essentially a sculptor for a lack of better word," – Jim Lambie
Jim Lambie creates glamorous and dynamic installations and sculptures - full of references from pop culture, and everyday life. Music is a great influence on the artist, his works are named after bands or song titles whilst objects are made from records or record players covered with glitter. This also harbors an ironic nostalgia: Lambie demonstrates out-dated technology as a fetishized artefact. Many of his works are named after cool old-school haircuts and styles (Blonde Streaks) or after a hairdressing salon (Rainbow Room), referencing his past career as member of the band "Boy Hairdressers".
