Provenance:
European Private Collection
The objects and materials that he used from 1967 – fire, ice, lead, tin, felt, salt, tobacco – come back to life in his assemblages. They take on symbolic-evocative meanings and become the living protagonists of a true, essential world, more real than the reality we inhabit, but more...silent.
When form is controlled so that it can attain the sublime and lyrical without compromising them, it is possible to reach the most powerful poetic force.
