The Leader

2015

Bronze
210 x 90 x 330 cm

Rising from the rubble of the apocalypse, The Leader is a takedown of colonial monuments. The sculpture of a rider and donkey draped in folds of thick bronze conceals a structurally hollow interior, a metaphor for our times. We ask ourselves: “is this leader present, absent, democratic, good, bad, or ugly?”.

The Leader (2015) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘ArtZuid‘, Amsterdam (NL), 2019
‘Ferrotopia‘, NDSM, Amsterdam (NL), 2018
