Ho Baron’s sculptures are not easily categorizable. They are figurative, yet abstract; fantastical, yet tactile, and perhaps even somewhat unnerving, yet engaging. Head Games activates the concept suggested by the title in multiple ways. The figure holds a head-like sculpture that spins around 360 degrees and the body is covered in patterns of undulating protrusions and spheres that upon closer inspection resemble a variety of faces. Working from intuition, Baron creates surreal and imaginative figural sculptures that invite unique individual responses and direct interaction.
