Hardcover, 84 pages, ENG, 255 x 205 mm, NEW, with coloured illustrations.*new ISBN 9789464004137. Edward Lipski (British, b. 1966) is an artist and sculptor known for successfully expressing uncomfortable places in the human psyche through super-real mannequins as well as cartoonlike figures. His work often has a certain unsettling playfulness to it, distinguishing his particular approach to the grotesque. Lipski has said of his art: ?My sculptures are mistakes in the same way language itself is kind of a mistake? language is an approximation, an attempt to describe the world, but an attempt that is doomed to fail." By combining his conceptual thought process with this pre-linguistic means of conveying imagery, Lipski's work stands apart from the current generation of young British artists.
