    About The Work

    In this sculptural piece from Luis Roldán, the skull shape becomes a physical metaphor for the ancient mythological concept of eidolon—an echo, phantom, a spirit image of a living or dead person. In a series of new works from Roldán, the artist disassembles old wooden hat molds, and paints bright sections of color, illuminating the shapes and fragments of these “soulless wooden brains.” As objects their intended use is rejected, and original forms cut down, leaving viewers with a painted interplay between surface and spirit, void and being.
