About the Work
“Mounted on white oak block: 30cm x 10cm x 30cm (6.7kg) Signed and numbered by the artist Foundry mark and artist certification Only 66 years separate the first successful powered aeroplane flight and our arrival on the moon. The androgynous figure of Propeller head is poised as if readying to take-off. A type of modern day angel bridging the gap between inculcated beliefs and the modern gods of science and medicine. A mix of man and machine celebrating human ingenuity and our ability to defy gravity. Propeller head is a metaphorical nod to our achievements and a glance towards our next forward leap, offering new and wild possibilities, optimism and yet still allowing the room for a cold shiver at the un-calculated dangers we love to ignore in our endless search for better, faster, forward in fields including nano and cyborg technologie”
Artist
British artist JJ Walker’s artwork presents a lavish, textured landscape of colour and narrative. His fresh, bold artworks are rich in symbolism and layered with social commentary, reflecting a deep fascination with the human condition—its highs and lows, complexities and contradictions. Though JJ tackles serious and often urgent themes, his art remains full of optimism. A sharp sense of humour, a strong social conscience, and a surreal perspective run through each piece, offering a uniquely uplifting take on contemporary issues. JJ works out of the legendary Barcelona atelier STUDIO 46. Contributing to the ongoing legacy of this iconic, artistic crucible where many of the most famous and influential artists of the 20th Century created artworks including Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Joseph Beuys, Victor Vasarely, Eduardo Chillida, Richard Hamilton, Marc Chagall and Louise Bourgeois. A life-long long career as a multi-disciplinary Designer and Creative Director for small bijou agencies, his own furniture design company and international corporations. JJ has left the politics and often slow mechanics of big business behind and concentrates on that which still drives him with an endless passion—the process of creating vivid, visceral and thought-provoking art.
