Artworks2019Green and Pink with Rubbish Bag

GAVIN TURK’S BIN BAG MOTIF WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED IN THE LATE 90S FOLLOWING ON FROM A SERIES OF WORK, WHERE FILLED BIN BAGS WERE CAST IN BRONZE AND PAINTED TO LOOK REAL, IMMEDIATELY ENGAGING WITH THEMES OF VALUE AND AUTHENTICITY. TURK NOW OFFERS THE OVERLOOKED AND DISCARDED, AS PROVOCATIVELY CONTEMPORARY PROPOSALS. PRESENTED HERE AS SINGLE PANELS OR DIPTYCHS, REMINISCENT OF MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO'S MIRROR WORKS.
