Mel Kendrick: Black Dots, 1989
Bronze (cast of a wooden sculpture)
3.6 x 2.1 x 1.4 m
Principal Board Room
Mel Kendrick's bronze sculpture Black Dots demonstrates an exciting ambivalence between figuration and abstraction, curved and straight forms, appearance and reality.
What seems to be a wooden sculpture reveals itself on closer examination to be a subtly painted bronze casting imitating the cutting marks of the saw and the speckled timber surface of the cast original material. The Black Dots of the title seem to stand out from the overall shape like printing stamps, and are also reminiscent of the pattern on a car tyre and of an octopus's suction cups. The element placed on the lower edge like a lever forms a disturbing contrast with the figure, which overall strives into the vertical. The arrangement looks like a rearing crocodile from many angles, and like a game with Cubist forms from others. (Marko Schacher)Continue Tour in the factory premises
