λ SOPHIE RYDER (BRITISH, B.1963) MINOTAUR, LADY HAREComposition busts, a pairEach 73 x 65cm (28½ x 25½ in.) including base (2) Born in England in 1963, Ryder studied Combined Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts where she obtained a diploma in painting. As Ryder began her career she was eager to test herself with as diverse an array of materials as possible, including plaster, bronze and galvanized wire, she was also keen to experiment with creating work of differing scales. When looking at her work, the strong link she has drawn between mythology and human life and emotions becomes instantly apparent, yet everything she creates is decisively human. She employs the figure of the hare to reinterpret the ancient Minotaur of Greek mythology, the hare's head is simply a mask for the human sitter who is in fact the artist herself. The intent of each of her works is to convey, in an everlasting form, a momentary human emotion.
