Bucket man
1974
John Davies
Mixed media
h. 195.6 cm
UEA 597Bucket Man is an example of John Davies� early work in which figures are engaged in ambiguous activities. The combination of startling realism � at first glance this figure can appear very much alive � and the slightly absurd headdress, paint splattered suit and buckets provides Bucket Man with a compelling sense of mystery.
This figure is one of 58 drawings and sculptures by Davies that the Sainsburys have acquired for the Collection throughout the last three decades.
