Igor Mitoraj’s works combine the surreal with the antiquity of ancient Greece and Rome. His beautifully crafted sculptures are both thoughtful and monumental. At Canary Wharf we are delighted to have three of his works representing some of the themes that most occupy him: the head as an incomplete noble mask represented in Centurione I, the bandaged face of Testa Addormentata, and the great mythological beast of the centaur, shown partially incomplete but ready for battle in Centauro. Mitoraj divides his time between his studios in Paris and Pietrasanta.
