Wouldn't we all like to learn from the Fountain of Wisdom? Sure we would like to learn from that! For some of us it is too late to learn anything... Life go's by like a flash of lightning and before long we are too old and too grey to realise all the missed opportunities in life. This piece of sculpture says it all, the thick layers of glass and black granite, layers and layers, in an unfinished shape of a pyramid, of discovered and undiscovered ways of life. While the fountain of wisdom has meaning and a great influence and significance in our lives... and we go through life like being blind folded, blind in every sense. Though our eyes let us see, but only what we want to see. As an artist I am trying very hard not to let my own life influence this piece of work, but it is very hard not to, as I am the creator of this piece of Art.
Tolleck Winner was born in 1959. He has lived and worked in the United Kingdom since 1980. Dedicated to producing art as full time occupation, his work is kept in private and public collections in the UK and throughout the world.
A number of his larger scale works also feature in public displays in the UK, such as the large steel sculpture, ‘People’, which stands alongside the works of Anthony Gormley and Sir Anthony Caro in the Peterborough Sculpture Park.
By injecting fragments of gaudy imagery, Tolleck’s work reveals a subtle flirtation with the current popular culture. Encapsulating frivolous objects with acrylic creations, the work exposes the existential fears which everyone hides beneath the trivial concerns of daily life. There is an underlined focus on the passage of time through generation to generation that once again reminds us of the briefness and inconsequentiality of human life.
You make nice stuff Tolleck.
