Four Grotesque Figures c. 20th century

Editor: Twins Seven Seven's "Four Grotesque Figures" is so striking in its stark black and white contrasts. The whimsical imagery almost feels like a dreamscape. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I see a beautiful dance between the conscious and unconscious mind. Twins Seven Seven was drawing from Yoruba mythology, blending personal vision with cultural heritage. The "grotesque" is just a mask, isn’t it? Beneath, there's a profound exploration of identity and spirit, wouldn't you agree? Editor: That's a fascinating perspective. I was so focused on the surface, the figures themselves. Curator: Sometimes, the most revealing journeys are those we take inward, like Twins Seven Seven inviting us to do, probing our assumptions about beauty and otherness. Editor: Thanks! That really reframes how I look at it. Curator: My pleasure! It is about seeing past the immediate. It’s what I love most about art!
