PRESS RELEASE

GOLD & PLYWOOD, a new series of pyrographed plywood panels, carved and covered with gold leaf, which adopt animalistic themes, is shown at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in Paris. Anthropomorphized animals, inspired by the richly detailed illustrations of an antique edition of Goethe's fable Reineke Fuchs, embody various aspects of human nature.
