'Humanoid Joy Through The Portal' (1993) - Maris Piper on acrylic
An experiment in Facless-Expressionism, this work from Kenneth Hobble conveys a subversive joy of discovery (namely humanities discovery by other species). Its smooth face implies simultaneously that this is an unknowable creature, and yet it is a blank; a template; it could indeed be ourselves. It provokes the viewer.
