10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present French artist, Laurent Martin Lo's exhibition, In the Balance, with his series of lyrical mobile sculptures made in bamboo.  

Through years of studying bamboo, Lo has come to understand its multitude of possibilities. His creativity is born out of skill and understanding of the material. His artistic palette is within the physical and sensorial virtues of bamboo – its sophisticated organic structure, energy, and spirituality. Establishing an intimate dialogue with bamboo, Lo experiments with its flexibility, resistance, density, lightness, mathematics, and poetry, a language that allows him to combine both tension and compression, creating sculptures based on movement and balance. Compositions that take over the space and establish a dialogue, where the space around the piece also becomes another defining element of the piece itself.

With his subtle, yet strong gestures, tensions, and counterweights, the artist speaks of a fragile harmony that is achieved using opposites: flexibility and strength, fullness and void, light and shadow, movement and quietness, Lo invites the spectators to begin a personal dialogue with themselves looking for calm, serenity, and the balance in nature.
