Roxy Paine

Roxy Paine is an American sculptor and installation artist born in 1966 in New York City. He is known for his large-scale sculptures that blur the line between natural and man-made forms, often creating intricate and highly detailed works that explore themes of nature, technology, and the intersection between the two.

Paine works in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, polymer, and even organic materials like mushrooms. His sculptures often have an otherworldly quality, appearing to be both alien and familiar at the same time.

Some of Paine's most famous works include "Maelstrom" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, "Conjoined" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and "Defunct" at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Finland.
