Conrad Shawcross: On view now at Jardin Arnaud Beltrame, Paris

The title Paradigm refers to the idea of the paradigm shift, identified by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn - a leap of imagination that jolts scientific enquiry forward and collapses pre-existing notions of what is true. This Paradigm series forms part of Shawcross' ongoing experiments and investigations into the tetrahedron and its geometric and philosophical potential.

Paradigm – B (Structural) is composed of tetrahedrons, a form with geometric and philosophical potential that has long fascinated Shawcross. Unlike other shapes such as the cube, a tetrahedron cannot tesselate with itself, therefore it cannot ever completely fill a space. Ascending and twisting into a variety of sequences that seem to defy logic, Paradigm- B (Structural) is a very timely artwork to be shown in Paris during this period.
