Subverting prototypical imagery through color, scale, and material, Katharina Fritsch is one of the most innovative sculptors living today. Domestic in size though suggesting a monument, her St. Nicolas is rendered in a cartoonish vibrant fuschia, atypical for the devotional idol it depicts. The result destabilizes the perceptive reflex, prompting a search for deeper psychological exploration by the viewer.
