'Parking Lot' does not need a lot of explaining... Environmental issues is on the minds of every single one of us. We live in the world of consumerism and yet technologically what we achieved in the last 10 years or 100 years is great, but, there is a but here... We want more! Human greed to have more and more of everything. Doesn't matter if we sacrifice our environment or kill off animals, plants trees... Are we this bad and self destructive as the only intelligent being on this planet? When will we ever wake up from this nightmare of self destructiveness? Will we ever recover? Will our beautiful planet ever recover?
By putting an expression on a lump of metal. I feel that I have done my job as an artist. This is very autobiographical piece of sculpture. There is perforated steel on the outside and reinforced steel bars on the inside of the structure, that was built section by section. This piece of sculpture stands at 1.4 Meters high.
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.
