The exhibition which will run from March 18 – April 13, 2010 will feature new wall and floor sculptures by Mooney and will be at the gallery’s new location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at 92 Wythe Avenue. A grand opening reception will be held on March 19, from 6-9 p.m. The public is invited to attend though an rsvp is request for that evening to info@causeycontemporary.com.

Wall Flowers marks Norman Mooney’s first adventure in color sculpture having previously worked only in shades of grays, blacks and whites.Wallflower no.1 measuring six feet in diameter is an explosion of pollen yellows.The piece consists of over 500 aluminum castings all projecting outward four feet off the wall. A second even larger wall flower cast in transparent blood red resin having a diameter of 6-7 feet will also be a part of the exhibition. While both sculptures visually reference the stamin of flowers, they also hint at the large scale of cosmic stars exploding into space or the microscopic growth of atomic particles.

Norman Mooney was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1971. He studied at Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork and completed his BFA at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin in 1992. He then had the distinguished honor of participating in the Third Degree Program at the Irish Museum of Modern Art from 1992 to 1993. In 1994 he relocated to New York City and has been exhibiting locally and internationally for more than 15 years. Recently his work has conjured the image of the actual and representational star shape, which conceptually deals with perceptions of contraction and expansion, the end of what previously was and the birth of something new, transformation on a global scale, and an origin of connectedness. Recent exhibitions include “Absence and Presence” at Causey Contemporary Gallery in New York, “Falling Short of Knowing” show at Milk Gallery in New York, and a sculpture exhibit at Collector’s Contemporary in Singapore.
