"The skyline of the modern city is constantly evolving, like a living organism with a ravenous appetite for expanse".

A side of rubble is a series of sculptural works in metal, cement and bone by Thames-Side Studios-based Elad Argaman (Studio TB-131).

Inspired by the derelict and condemned structures of both the outskirts of South London and south Tel Aviv, the series combines the organic and the industrial, the biological and the geographical, and the natural and the synthetic in order to portray a visceral and surreal urban landscape. Through a variety of materials and textures, the works convey an odd fusion between mankind and its evolving environment.

Elad Argaman (b.1982 Tel Aviv, Israel) received his BA in visual communication from Shenkar Institute for Art and Design,Tel Aviv in 2010 and recently graduated from the MFA programme at Goldsmiths University. He has been an active artist since 2013, participating in international exhibitions and venues. His practice includes painting, sculpture, installation, film and video. www.eladargaman.com
