Toby Ziegler
Toby Ziegler (b. 1972) combines motifs from a wide range of sources, including photographs of the Freud family, Spanish still-life paintings, Dutch Old Masters, and 19th-century landscapes. He uses computers to create new forms and pictorial spaces, experimenting with faceted structures in his sculptures and layered patterns in his two-dimensional work. Turning these digital forms into physical objects allows small mistakes and quirks to appear, blurring the line between figuration and abstraction. Ziegler delights in the shifts between virtual and real, and in the physical acts of breaking, distorting, and altering materials. While he offers some guidance for the viewer, he intentionally leaves room for personal interpretation.
