About

Martin Boyce’s three Cubist inspired trees are nestled within nature waiting to be discovered outside the western precinct of the Gallery of Modern Art and the gateway to the Kurilpa Bridge.

Boyce re-imagines twentieth-century Modernism through his sculptures and installations, which rework and give new life to modernist forms of art, architecture and design. We are shipwrecked and landlocked 2008-10 was inspired by a photograph of a group of four concrete Cubist trees designed by French sculptors Joel and Jan Martel in 1925.
