Kriester expresses the drama of the human condition as in ancient times. He has concentrated a lot on the head, as the centre of man’s being, his mental processes, his conscious actions, the fears he endures. Kriester’s heads, ranging from small to larger have gradually armed themselves against importunate attacks. They transcend the individual human state. They bear traces of ritual invocation as in the age of magic. The head as a sort of artistic fetish to ritualise isolation and non acceptance as a way of life or as resistance to oppression and constraint. Sustained by the essence of ancient cultures, they express vulnerability, Kriester’s main theme, to which he responds with a frantic obsession, here in the fragmentation of this Greek Head.
