Peter Brooke-Ball
Variation on a Theme II: Avoidance by Peter Brooke-Ball - Abstract sculpture

2022

About the Item

Variation on a Theme II: Avoidance is a unique bronze, steel and oak wood sculpture by contemporary artist Peter Brooke-Ball, dimensions are 23 cm × 24 cm × 24 cm (9.1 × 9.4 × 9.4 in). The sculpture comes with a certificate of authenticity. The humour, simplicity, and sensuality of Peter Brooke-Ball's works surprise despite their lack of a clear, self-evident message. The intention is to make “objects that are gorgeous with a hint of mystery“, as he himself puts it. The sculptures question ideas of protection and bonding while occasionally making references to violence or coercion. This is in line with the artist's statement that “I see each piece as a thought and I want to keep that thought secure and precious, fearing it might all slip away“. The titles of sculptures frequently allude to a concept, a circumstance, or an emotion, even though each viewer responds differently and has their own interpretation. Above all, the artist appreciates feedback from young viewers who are uninhibited and have a tactile and instinctive connection to the sculptures.
