The character's head is large. He sits in judgment. The artists vainly used his own likeness. His torch is small, dwarfed by the ego of the sleepy eyed man wielding said flame. This singular golden highlight doing little to distract from it's drab nature.
Onlookers struggle to advert their eyes as they pass by the solemn vestige. It sits in the shadows of towering structures much older than itself, adding little to the decor, unable to signify meaning of it's own. There is no plaque in memorandum of any particular events. It is in fact ugly, and distasteful. Not something fit for display.
What in fact is the artist trying to tell us here? What does it tell us of the "BLM" movement? Is this the ugly truth the masses refuse to see? And just as important to ask, is this the imagery the artist intended, or were his hands guided by another.
Oracle is a continuation of Biggers’ recent Chimera sculptures, a series of figurative sculptures created by combining African masks and European figures that explore historical depictions of the body and their subsequent myths...
Biggers is intrigued by the recent scholarship about the academic and historical “white-washing” of classical Greco-Roman sculpture simultaneously intersecting with the early twentieth century “black-washing” of various African sculptural objects.
Comissioned by the Rockefeller Foundation. This is a theme being pushed heavily at the moment, especially in Europe. There is a narrative being created out of nothing that the original inhabitants of Europe, and yes, even Scandinavia and the British Isles, were sub-Saharan Africans and that the white man came and displaced them. The clear intention is to create feelings of guilt in those who might question or criticize pro/mass immigration policies and globalism in general.
Supposedly the artist is a black guy named Sanford Biggers. Some anons have suggested his son may have helped him
