About the object
Half-human, half-animal forms, men with masks and knives, an armoured-plated angel. Pitch-black, the beady-eyed figures looking out at us make us flinch momentarily. Their formats are clear, elementary and large. It is the very aspect of the monumental, the extroverted that draws us under the spell of the woodcut.
