Karoo Ashevak
1 / 1
Karoo Ashevak, Cyclops figure, c. 1965
Whalebone, 9 3/4 x 9 x 4 in.
This arresting sculpture is an early work by Karoo Ashevak. Its only distinct features are a single eye and a large, toothy, open mouth, both carefully detailed. The sculpture is signed in syllabics, confirming a viewer's immediate impression that the work is by Karoo. Presumably it depicts a spirit.
