Paul Becker Untitled (Furs) Year 2023 Medium Pencil on paper Dimensions 26.7 x 19 cm About the work A lot of images of animals occur in the work, often animals as human adornment or decoration, utilised as stoles or fur coats. Exploited or utilised in some way. Often kind of merging with humans but remaining apart, inexplicable, often sentient, endlessly mysterious, perhaps as ciphers, analogous to humans themselves or to certain atmospheres in the artworks that move me the most.
