Artwork Insights:

“Dragon George refers to an orthodox medieval icon with St. George and the dragon from Crete. In my childhood home had been a wooden old sculpture of St. George which fascinated me. The dragon looked up to the man who looked into a distance. I never liked the idea of the dragon being killed. As the dragon isn’t actually killed, but is threatened. It’s more about a suspension, an open question how to get on with the dragon. When I did some research on it, I found that the earliest picture of this motif is the slaying of Tiamat, the Babylonian feminine serpent/dragon. I wanted to develop a positive image, a celebration of meeting this force.” - Marius von Brasch

This artwork was created alongside the exhibition title work, Black Sun. The works are intended to be installed together. However, placing works in separate collections will be considered.
