Description
Eros Bendato Scrippolato by Igor Mitoraj
Mitoraj's work exhibits a contemporary sensitivity, but references a lost classical aesthetic. This work depicts a fragment of an ancient monument to Eros, the god of love, here blindfolded, suggesting that love is blind and also that Eros victims were randomly selected. Igor Mitoraj, one of the foremost Polish artists, creates gigantic figures of ancient gods, heroes, muses and titans, often depicting them as bandaged heroic figures. "Eros Bendato Scrippolato" (Eros blindfolded and cracked) is a bronze sculpture made to look like a fragment of an ancient monument to Eros, the god of love. The head with its surface patina, cracked plates and pieces of shattered fragments suggest the destruction of objects and monuments brought on by time.
