Business on the dark side

Some really interesting works by John Casey, sculpture and illustrator, this is a nice example of a conceptual and well crafted piece...playing with scale, the relationship between the full figure and the large head...what dialogue is playing out in this relationship?

The formality of the costuming on the figure makes a statement...a conceptual hierarchy, this "man's" dominance over a larger being...there is also a humorous feel to the work, the standing person has a dark smile on his pumpkin like head...where the figure meets the over sized head, that point makes a statement, a casual and controlling touch...blue and tan, traditional and conservative color scheme to tie in with the theme.
