Press Release

Capitain Petzel is pleased to announce Cascade, Jack O’Brien’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery, opening on January 11, 2025.

For the exhibition, O’Brien presents a striking suspended sculpture that merges two grand pianos into a singular, imposing form, hovering mid-air within the gallery space. The pianos are stripped of their traditional function yet retain their physical grandeur. Between them is a striking void, a central negative space that becomes the focal point of the composition, evoking both a sense of dialogue and rupture. By suspending these instruments and cutting a void at their core, O’Brien reimagines them as objects of silence and memory, rather than tools of sound. Assemblage becomes a means of storytelling for the artist, where fragments of materials carry traces of their past.
