Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new sculpture edition with Tyrrell Winston, titled Deep Downtown. In his multimedia-based practice, Winston uses new and found objects to fuel contemporary narratives revolving around sports and their existence within culture. Continuing to intermix his artistic practice with his fascination with sports, Winston coats basketball nets in chrome to create Deep Downtown. Through the sculpture, the artist explores the shape and evolution of a basketball net, both within the sport and within the medium. 

Deep Downtown captures a moment frozen in time, its form appearing as if a basketball was shot through the net just seconds ago. A compellingly dynamic silhouette, the sculpture gives permanent life to an object that plays an integral role within the beloved sport. This idea of movement with which Winston is concerned is accentuated by the introduction of a color gradient paint coating. Depending on the point of view at which the viewer approaches it, the sculpture takes on a myriad of forms; from one angle, it is understood to be exclusively a shiny silver, the opposite angle exclusively a metallic charcoal, and the many perspectives in between a seamless marriage of the two hues. With its transformational nature, Deep Downtown offers an active viewing experience and reminds us of the persistent energy that remains within seemingly insignificant records of human existence.
