Butler

Artist : Joep Van Lieshout

Early prehistoric sculpture was all about fertility – think, for instance, of the Venus of Willendorf with her broad thighs and ample bosom. Butler is her male counterpart who has fallen victim to his own potency. Some of his original vigour is still detectable in his rudimentary body shape that was sawn from polystyrene blocks with a chainsaw before being cast in marble.
