SCULPTURE
Inspired by small size terracotta and bronze antique Roman statuary, as well as the eminently pagan tradition of Renaissance small bronzes, Franz Fenris G. also sometimes tackles the male figure. In these works where nothing is left to be hidden, one is confronted to the strength of a silent cry by means of the metaphorical use of the ithyphalle, or to some inner pain expressed by the wrung aspect of the bodies. Here are the landmarks of a progression which, should it be carried on, will perhaps soften into a more elegant (mannerist ?) contrapposto.
