Title: WARHEAD
Date: 2003
Medium: cast bronze and nickel; ed. #1/24
Dimensions: height 29 in. (73.7 cm)
Notes:
signed, dated & editioned
This important work by Jeff de Boer began as an exploration of technologies, a fusion of a 1950s rocket ship with a Milanese helmet, and with the observation that while technology has changed, the basic person has not. “Warhead” came to represent the power and duality of opposites: masculine and feminine; beautiful and terrifying; religious and sacrilegious; yin and yang. As an additional dimension, a high polish in the bronze was critical to de Boer, so that viewers could see themselves in the work.
In a 2004 video interview de Boer says of this work:
“It’s one of these rare sculptures that you make in your life. I love this piece because it’s something that I just can’t see myself improving on… It’s for me, the perfect object.”
Note: While part of an edition, based on prototype patterns and models, de Boer constructs each sculpture by hand, with variation, so that each piece is unique.
