Men in love have been making ridiculous monuments for a long time… I wish to provoke a conversation around how we celebrate love and whether it is encouraged in contemporary Australia.

Description

Artist // Sculptor, Australia

While Martin George can undoubtedly make a totally convincing piece of modernist sculpture, viewable from all directions and immaculately constructed, he also likes in catching the spectator unawares. Things are frequently not quite as they first seem …

Georges works are interactive, restless and even kinetic.”

In this troubled world of earthquakes, floods, wars and global warming,
it is a sheer delight to find a dedicated sculptor with such an ironic sense of
humour and a highly developed sense of the ridiculous. Ken Scarlett OAM extracted from Solo Show Berlin 2016, Kraftwerk.
