The work of Constantin Brâncuși is central to the development of contemporary sculptural practice and constitutes a point of reference from which — as Okoński himself states — one cannot escape. The modernist axis mundi, with its gravity and sanctity, its refinement and the fragile strength of masculine eminence, is truncated and crowned with a realistic depiction of a large banana. A brutally interrupted erection. Refined form and an ironic, erudite play of meanings. The territory in which Okoński feels most at home.
