Joe Lloyd reviews Lee Lozano: c 1962 at Hauser & Wirth, London, on view through July 29, 2017.
Lloyd writes: "Each piece is untitled and diminutive in size. In shape, they range from squares to frieze-like panels... By forcing one to scrutinise closely, the form draws one into Lozano’s domain while distancing it from the outside world: this is a place where you have to strain to comprehend clearly. Yet despite this peep show aspect, the tangle of protrusions and orifices is not voyeuristic. We are not being given a sneak at the forbidden. Instead, the forbidden is leering out at us, often with lips and teeth."
