- Summary
- For his Lisson Gallery Milan exhibition, Monk turns his gaze to Graeco-Roman art. Inspired by the Italian setting for the show, he has had his own head painstakingly sculpted and cast in Jesmonite polished to resemble marble. Five identical, fractionally larger than life-size busts have been created. With stylised hair and an imperious gaze, they resemble the idealised portrait statuary of ancient Rome. Each bust is placed on a high plinth and stares down at the spectator. The figure of each artist appears exalted but this is not a simple exercise in egotism.
