"These seahorses, as if splashed with color, dripping and drooling, explore the boundary between painting and sculpture—as if sculpture has been hybridized with painting, as if the pigment overflowed from the heart of the ronde-bosse sculpture. Archaic, they speak of the world’s political violence, crowning strange pedestals that look like banners or flags, like hybrid trophies or fallen kings. What catastrophe spawned these beasts that so closely resemble men and trouble our eyes?" - Colin Lemoine
