Lawrence Argent’s art encompasses a breadth of form, materials and site that engage the viewer in questioning the assumed. Argent’s interventions envelope a path of consciousness through which the physical promotes the non-physical in which the sublime emerges as a vehicle traversing a slippery foundation in the gap between stimulus and response.
