Untitled Brickart (But Could Be a Solar Garden Temple)
Curator mock commentary
Untitled brickart (but could be a solar garden temple), 2022
Sharp lines contrast with round buttons in this enigmatic tree-angular edifice.
The colour palette is ambitious. Dark blue, trans-pink, gold and light grey harbour shades of greens on a sand/tan desolation. They all twist elementary colours into artificial tones at the service of both utilitarian (garden protection, solar generation, computing) and spiritual aspirations (deep blue opposing luscious gold and frivolous pink).
Homage to 2019's Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) aside, the viewer remains puzzled by the building’s equivocal nature: either temple of a lost space age, solar-powered supercomputer, digital oasis against climate change, antenna of a subterranean bunker, extreme gardening experiment, embracing sculpture or metaphorical tree of Knowledge.
Is it even an homage to the future or an ode to the remote past of a Atlantean world in the Sahara?
