When less is Moore
Moore's lithographs at the BCHK exhibition help shed light on the artist's process. The reclining figure studies done on approximately A4-size paper, for example, are practice sketches for Moore's archetypal gigantic sculptures realized over several iterations in bronze, stone and wood. Lam says the sketches "echo the emotional and formal qualities of Moore's sculptures — there is a shared sense of compression, rhythm, and symbolic weight," hastening to add that their presence in the exhibition is meant to offer visitors "a different entry point into Moore's practice — one that shifts from the monumental to the personal".
"They reveal his sensitivity to movement, repetition, and emotional nuance, offering a more nuanced reading of his practice — one that encourages reflection rather than explanation."
