Description
Referencing Arturo Di Modica’s iconic ‘Charging Bull’ sculpture, ‘Raging Bull’ challenges the role of the stock market in post Occupy Wall Street Australia. With lowered head, horns angled forward, and anger lines furrowing a determined face, does ‘Raging Bull’ symbolise the power, aggression and unpredictably of market forces or of the ruling elite? Cubist fragmentation has replaced the muscular lines of Di Modica’s sculpture, and in the chrome surface viewers can see their own image reflected. Poised between conservative economic pronouncement and social satire, ‘Raging Bull’ is a familiar symbol enigmatically reworked for our time.
