'Untitled 2014' is from Daniel Silver's monumental 'Rock Formations' series. It is a semi-figurative interpretation of the human form, made simply from two roughly hewn pieces of marble which references the work of Brancusi. The art of ancient Greece is particularly important in Silver's practice and these works have evolved from the study of statues and busts of the ancient world. Such objects possess an intense clarity of purpose, a purpose largely lost to us but one which would have been instantly familiar to their contemporary audiences. Silver sees them now as the products of making and re-making; by the original artist, by the weathering of time and by their re-presentation as pieces of history. Silver's sculptures call us to examine our own connection to the images of heroes, warriors and myths, and makes them recognisable once more.
