EDITORS COMMENTS
The Broken Chair (marble) by Henri Pickery captures a poignant moment frozen in time. In this photo print, we see a young boy seated on a beautifully carved chair, his face contorted with sadness and tears streaming down his cheeks. The boy clutches a drumstick in one hand while the other rests on the broken pieces of the once magnificent sculpture. The intricate details of the carving are highlighted in this image, showcasing Pickery's mastery as an artist. The texture of the marble and the delicate curves of the chair are brought to life through expert photography. This artwork evokes strong emotions as we witness not only the physical destruction but also feel the weight of disappointment and loss experienced by both the young boy and perhaps even ourselves. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly solid structures can crumble under certain circumstances. The symbolism behind this piece is open to interpretation - it could represent shattered dreams or lost innocence. Regardless, it leaves us contemplating our own vulnerabilities and resilience in times of adversity. Displayed at Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium, 'The Broken Chair' stands as a testament to human fragility and serves as an invitation for introspection.
