Description:
Here, Epstein shows off his prowess with bronze, in this slightly disturbing sculpture close to Knightsbridge. The arrested motion captured in the group reminds us of former stalkee Enzo Plazzotta. The energy of the piece is incredible, especially give that Epstein was still honing it on the day he died, aged 79. (The bronze was posthumously cast.) A group of lanky-limbed individuals and their dog bound towards Hyde Park. The diabolic character chivvying them along is Greek God Pan, playing a tune on his eponymous pipes. It is, at first, hard to think of a more inappropriate setting, hidden away near a virtually disused access road. But you look what’s behind them, and you think of the beautiful green park before them, and their emotional dash makes perfect sense.
