“The Haunting Tide”
The Lorne Sculpture Biennale is nearly over. This Sunday 3rd April is the final day.
This piece is called THE HAUNTING TIDE, 2021-22 and is the work of Melbourne Artist Geoffrey Ricardo. It comes with it’s own Hills Hoist but is not guaranteed to float.
($35,000)
Geoffrey’s work is represented in the public collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Stylistically, Geoffrey draws on figurative expressionism and surrealism to create his own ‘dream realism’. Through this imagery, he presents poignant observations of the human condition – some of which allow us to laugh at our own behaviour. Beneath his images of the comic and the absurd lies a deeper philosophical questioning of human nature.
