Herbert List exhibition,
Metamorphoses, demands a few moments for consideration. The sun-washed form is without a head and indeed arms, with a fracture revealing the marble’s less familiar wavy formatione. Marble fractures like this are, in fact, a signifier of List’s subject: a sculpture of an ancient Greek soldier on the island of Delos in the Cyclades archipelago.
Another photograph also shows a stoic male figure, a young Greek boy lying under the sharp Mediterranean sun and covering his eyes with a gentle shrub. The magnitude List attributes to his subject is similar with the former image, but here, it renders the boy statuesque and unattainable. However, unlike the marble chill of the torso, the boy is made of flesh, warm and tanned under the afternoon heat. He is contemplative, eased by the refuge his nap offers.
