** Ricky Swallow (b. 1974) - Standing Figure, 2012 bronze withbrown/black patina, from the edition of 2 (plus 1 AP), with integral cast plinth 25 x 6 x 5 in., 63.5 x 15 x 13 cm (height) Provenance: Modern Art/Stuart Shave, London. One of the most memorable pavilions at the Venice Biennale of 2005 was the Australian, for which Ricky Swallow exhibited a group of large sculptures carved in wood depicting skeletons, skulls, bicycle helmets and rattlesnakes.

Since then, his interest in art history has branched out into Modernism and beyond, in step with his increasingly varied use of medium and experiments with process.
