Standovár began crafting a visual language through concrete in 2018 while working on Blue Nipple Hills, a multi-layered book framed around sexual taboos based on the artist’s conversations with her mother, Zsuzsanna Bede, a sexual psychologist. The book featured Standovár’s sketches, photographs, and sculptures inspired by their dialogues. After the book's publication, the concrete objects took on their own life, and the diverse universe of Kinky Concrete was born.

The earliest works featured in the exhibition carry the tongue-in-cheek tone of Blue Nipple Hills. For example, the concrete and crystal “dripping bowls” appear in the archival pigment print Dripping Ball Bowls (2018), including a quote related to female orgasm from the publication, while the Squeezer (2018) asks the viewer how they evaluate their sexual experiences. Even though many works play with notions of sexuality and physical connection, the body is not brought to the forefront. Instead, Standovár’s pieces use evocative forms and playful language— especially in the artwork titles—to leave room for personal interpretation and association.

For her recent body of work, consisting of backlit wall sculptures located in the smaller gallery, Standovár has reversed her usual creative practice. Instead of creating concrete sculptures and photographing them in different settings, which later become prints to be exhibited alongside the objects, she takes the photographs first and then incorporates them into concrete. For works such as Hidden Jewel and I am hiding but I want you to find me (2022), the artist moved away from her narrative, whimsical approach and experimented with a more abstract, poetic visual language that seeks to express feelings of longing and desire through photographing the natural environment. In these works, the photograph's character dictates the concrete's form and not vice versa.

Most recently, Standovar created a wearable concrete accessory series (2023)—photographing it on both models and classical sculptures as fetish wear—thus giving birth to the latest body of work inside the Kinky Concrete universe. Transgressing the boundaries of photography and sculpture, artwork and apparel, the heterogenous lines of Kinky Concrete mirror our disparate relationships to sexuality: I am Kinky Concrete is a declaration that “kinky” can look and feel different to everyone.
