Stanley Fereday Pinker (South African, 1924-2012) Into the one ear and out the other 31 x 51 x 39cm (12 3/16 x 20 1/16 x 15 3/8in).
Provenance : Provenance A private collection. Literature Michael Stevenson, Stanley Pinker, (Cape Town: Michael Stevenson, 2004), p. 101. (illustrated). 'A head is buried up to its neck in sand, the face resembling a soccer ball. A plastic funnel in each ear brings us to the saying, 'In one ear and out the other', perhaps referring to the fatuous rhetoric that surrounds sport. Balanced on the head is a small football, found on a beach, a touch of William Tell! In the corner is an assemblage that resembles an Olympic flame, a box of matches beside it. A white pill in the foreground - 'All this brouhaha gives me a headache'. An eye for an eye? A cauliflower for an ear? Is X's sprained ankle a subject worthy of national debate?'.
