| Description: |
Contrasts of happiness and ecstasy
dominate
the
vastness
of the carving.
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
