Jerzy Fober, The Fallen Angel, 1993. The work depicts a crouching figure resting on two curved beams covered with black polychrome. The surface of the figure is full of cracks and chips. Particularly striking is the hole in the back of the figure’s head, reminiscent of a wound. On the back, there are knotty thickening, reminiscent of the places where the fallen angel’s wings were lost. The intense expression of the composition is reinforced by the curved beams, which seem to bend under the weight of the figure. It is a dramatic vision of the fall of a being that once belonged to the realm of heaven and now lies bound, crushed by its own weight, unable to rise above the earth.
