HARLEQUINS OF THE HOUSE
"LA COMMEDIA DELL ARTE NELLA CASA" (2008) [DETAIL]
(The Comedy of Arts in the house)
©️Arts Law Australia
Size: 16 panels each 50cm x 50cm x 5cm
Media: Acrylic, paper dots on pressed board and stretched canvas
The canvases are the property of the individuals featured.
This still is from an exhibition featuring 16 of the staff from the Sydney Opera House.
Each of these individuals was invited to participate because they were/are
outstanding examples of people who are the glue that hold the place together.
And where would we be without people such as this in our society?
The reverse of each of these portraits carries a stylised letter.
When the panels are lined up in sequence the letters spell
☆ R-E-C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-O-N ☆.
This must surely be the big issue of our time!
