Olaf Brzeski
Self-portrait

2012, bronze, 38 x 17 x 17 cm, ed. of 3 + 1 AP

Brzeski's ironic self-portrait comes super-sized. The artist as Pinocchio in flesh and blood - a captivating liar and seducer at once. Classic in form, yet markedly contemporary in spirit as a study of a nude with an overblown ego - equally that of the subject and the artist.
