Summary
"Silver's collective portrait combines styles and motifs from different historical moments and different cultures. Silver's range of references reflects his cosmopolitan background, being born in London to parents of African descent, raised in Jerusalem and currently based in the UK. Here, his portraits resemble both African tribal sculpture and early 20th century 'primitivist' sculptures by such figures as Picasso, Jacob Epstein and Henri Gaudier-Brezska"--Gallery website. |
