Another Conversation Piece - Tate Gallery Liverpool

Just thought I'd post another of my favourite works from the exhibition curated by Phillip Treacy at Tate Liverpool.

Corinthos by Barbra Hepworth 1954/5.
The piece is one of the largest of her works to be carved from one block of wood.
Formed from guarea, a tropical hard wood, the rich outer surface is contrasted with a painted matt white interior. Inspired by her visits to Greece, the sculpture represents ancient sights and Hepworth's experiances of light and landscape.

In the gallery space, set amongst vivid pink walls, I enjoyed the experiance of viewing through and beyond it's mass. The interior of the work balances with the outer form completely. It is entriely beautiful.
