With the element of surprise firmly on his side, the American artist Brad Downey creates interventions that visually disrupt the routine of our urban perceptions. Downey’s art discourages quick glances and celebrates the double take. Using elements from film, sculpture, painting, and drawing, he creates remarkable work ranging from the spectacular and headline-making to the small, delicate, and almost hidden.

This book is the most comprehensive collection of what Brad Downey calls his Spontaneous Sculptures.
