Evolking classic themes, his sensual sculptures rejoice in metaphor and the physical, with particular focus on the male nude. Eicholtz acknowledges, in both theme and technique, the figures place in the classical history of art, then appropriates and translates it into a language infused with a humor and theatricality that embraces modern art. |
