Shot Rock is a bold caricature, stylistically identified by conspicuous patterns and linear contours. The focal point, the man at the center of the piece, holds a broom in his left hand and a curling stone in his right. A short comic-like story plays around the man, taking the viewer on a chaotic journey. The journey is led by words related to the game of Curling and a man who leaps, sprints, and contorts this way and that in a seemingly dire mission. Gloeckler’s satirical commentary on the game also captures the complexity of human nature: humor coupled with criticism and contempt.
