Between Love & Fear

TM Gallery proudly presents an exhibition by British contemporary artist, George Triggs. ‘Between Love and Fear’ reveals Triggs’ major new life-sized work of two colliding human forms cast in bronze, unveiled for the first time at TM Gallery in London.

Forming the centrepiece of a collection of nine artworks, the title piece of this show, ‘Between love and fear’ is Triggs’ most ambitious project to date. This captivating two figure, life-size bronze sculpture reveals a true mastery of figurative artistic skill.

Triggs invites his audience to engage with their own subjective response to the piece. Conceptually, the sculpture is a physical representation of complex and often bewildering emotions which he hopes are recognised by the observer and reflected back to them. By holding a mirror up to ourselves and observing our pain and suffering from the outside, we are offered a new perspective and a deeper understanding of ourselves that brings with it a visceral sense of solace.

“Between love and fear’ depicts two figures in conflict with each other, and within themselves. In human relationships, we so deeply want to love, and to be loved, yet a profound sense of fear creates a disparity which can be all consuming. It is the longing to embrace, but the urge to push away.  While we are pulled in two directions, we remain stuck in our own turmoil.” – George Triggs
