For Cure3, the artist has kindly donated Aurochs, part of an edition of just 31 copies, this is the first ever solid bronze sculpture of an aurochs made by William Hamper (aka Billy Childish). The piece is an example of the artist’s fascination with extinct animals, such as prehistoric horses. Childish follows the Fauvist tradition of sculpting in bronze but the practice is here incorporated into an artwork with ritualistic and environmental connotations: the aurochs, which became extinct in Britain during the Bronze Age, was connected to nature worship. The Perspex cube appears to showcase the sculpture, as a prehistoric artefact would be displayed in a museum. Childish thus combines ancient and modern traditions of art, creating a timeless piece for the exhibition.
