Catalogue Note

"In the large bronze gorillas, the distinct lack of pomposity, combined with a hitherto unseen level of scale and gravitas, means a particularly timely relation between the unreal, the abject and the monumental" (Sarah Craddock cited in: Exh. Cat., Bristol, Arnolfini, Angus Fairhurst, 2009, p. 71).
