Neil Zakiewicz carves foam and wood, hacking the shapes of oversized hands, animals and superheroes. These are monuments for a generation which no longer believes in monumental gestures. His recent sculpture “Pencil Holder” (2005) featured a giant Socialist Realist-style raised fist clutching a set of five brightly coloured pencils. Formerly a member of the curatorial group Unit, he completed an MFA at Goldsmiths in 2003 and has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, including a solo exhibition in January at Bearspace.
