These are exactly the pieces I miss at the minute!! I mean I love the focal portraits, but they are second to some of Guys older work, this piece tells a story and has so much more depth! . with it being a homage to Degas' young spartans we see how the times have changed. The beauty of our surroundings destroyed by the industrial revolution and the happiness and innocence of man turned into these battered and bruiesed world weary charachters. (similar politics to what I see expressed in most of Guys work) I also imagine that it signifies the transition from all the glory and quality of modernism into a post modernism era of conceptual art and hyped 'installations!!!  ' this piece acts as a far out cry for a movement to revert to the emotion and aesthetics of quality painting. (exactly what Guy and the neo modern group stand for, and rightly so!) after all if you cant say it with words, use Imagery!!. More of these to come plzzzzzz GD . |
