I have spoken about how I dislike the Neri statue works, for the most part, but these works, which seem to be studies for these works. These, though, are magnificent.
The fact is it is the three dimensionality that appears to be the downfalls of the statuary. These, forms that are instantly recogniseable as the work of Neri, are subsumed into the brush stroke, though at the same time, they are still there, still real, still understandable. The fact that it is no longer bound to a physical space, that imagery can expand beyond the form. This may mean that Neri may work in an installation form, which would rule!
