This plaster torso is completely covered in gold leaf. Consequently, it immediately attracts attention, almost in an intrusive way. At the same time, it is extremely introverted: there is no opening anywhere. This tension between open and closed is typical of Tinus Vermeersch’s work. It makes this sculpture a curious paradox: as visible as it is faceless, as tangible as it is unfathomable.
