He was heavily sedated and children would have their pictures taken with him. Generally, my work explores parental anxiety. Lions first started appearing in my work a few years ago, becoming a symbol of danger but also of protection. I also think a lot about the natural world and Man's destruction of it and what the future will look like for our children.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

2nd-3rd century A.D. Bust and torso of an indigenous nobleman modelled in the round; with rounded facial features, the shoulder-length hair dressed in hanks and cut into tiers, centre-parted and framing the face; the eyes exaggerated, probably originally emphasised with sheet-silver detailing; the broad chest smooth with ring-and-dot nipples; a thick collar or torc sitting high on the collar-bone, with braided detailing and finished with a D-shaped pendant; each upper-arm supported by a barley-twist column with cup finial and stylised flames above; the centre supported by a rectangular block with incised herringbone linear pattern interspersed with pointillé pellets; the base broad and gently curved away from the figure, with a lattice of bilinear panels bearing groups of three ring-and-dot motifs, D-shaped loop to the forward edge flanked by smaller lobes; the reverse plain, the head hollow with remains of a thick loop at the lower edge of the hair; significant iron deposits to surface from its deposition environment; of provincial Roman workmanship. See Boucher, S. & Tassinari, S., Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine a Lyon: Bronzes Antiques I. Inscriptions, Statuaire, Vaisselle, Lyon, 1976. 461 grams, 13 cm (5 1/8 in.). [No Reserve] From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.Its construction with a central block flanked by two short pillars (i.e. leaving two slots) suggests that the piece may have been intended as a rein-guide for a chariot, whereby the leather or fabric straps would pass through the two apertures and, by their separation, be prevented from tangling. Bronze figural busts are known from Gallo-Roman contexts: they are usually female and interpreted as tutelae or protective tribal spirits (Boucher & Tassinari, 1976, items 62-4). The present example is evidently designed to impress the viewer with its portrayal of the 'noble barbarian' as a suitable conveyor of martial splendour (Boucher & Tassinari, 1976, item 321). The impressive figure recalls the famed statue 'The Dying Gaul' in the Capitoline Museum, Rome, showing a 'barbarian' warrior with a neck torc, thick hair and moustache, discarded weapons and shield carved on the ground and a carnyx trumpet between his legs. The statue is a copy of a Hellenistic original celebrating a Greek victory over the Galatians.

An exceptional early BaKota maskThis “cubist” helmet mask is from the Willy Mestach collection. An artist himself, his collection was focused based on personal aesthetic choices, not on a geographic or intellectual level but by a strong emotional and intuitive response to African art. Each object in his collection related intrinsically to all others, creating an ensemble widely considered as one of the best collections of African art.What we must consider for these large helmet masks is their visual functioning. The white of the Kaolin with little specs of reflective mica would have been spectacular in the reflection of large fires during the night rituals. All these masks are made with the graphic qualities that would be emphasized by strong contrasts, creating a vibrant moving spectacle of reflection and shadows. Both masks are said to perform during night festivals, and they all share the same features; clear white lime applied that refers to the afterlife contact with the ancestors, while the “Empoli” masks show the red ochre that symbolizes warmth and strength. This is a quality that Willy Mestach surely had seen when he added this mask to his collection.We know only of a few early “Empoli” ; An Empoli in the De Menil collection in Houston, a white Fang helmet mask from George Bracques and the Empoli from Paul Guillaume. All of these mask’s share similar features; kaolin-lightened faces—with narrow noses, defined nose lines and eyebrows, and diminutive, pursed mouths— all characteristic of its genre in the Northwest of Gabon, independent of the people who made them and their function. These masks can be found amongst a few tribal regions in this region of Gabon; the Kota, The Fang, the Mahongwe and the BaKwele but even though they look like a quintessential African mask, very little is known about them. The angular "Empoli" masks seem to relate more to male figures with its crest on the head, probably a male forest spirit, whilst the round-faced “moon” masks are more feminine, sometimes called “Ngontang” or young girl. We know most about the female “Ngontang” female helmet masks and less about the male “Empoli” but that they were of great importance in performances, dances that contributed to the prestige of his patrons.64 cmProvenancefrom the collection of Willy Mestdagh, BrusselsLiteraturePublished in Bastin (Marie-Louise), "Introduction aux Arts de l'Afrique Noire", Arnouville: Arts d'Afrique Noire, 1984:259, #269
