CLAPHAM ART GALLERY presents NEW
FIGURATIVE REALISM, organised by CHARLIE SMITH london.
Clapham Art Gallery is pleased to continue its collaboration
with TESSA FARMER. Farmer has become well known for her hanging
installations made from collected insects and now animal and
bird carcasses combined with miniature, skeletal characters made
from plants and plant roots. Farmer spellbinds her audience as
the anatomically correct skeletal characters do battle with the
insects, creating a fiction that encompasses beauty and horror,
violence and death, and life and decay.
Leipzig based SEBASTIAN GÖGEL makes work that resonates with a
sense of Germanic myth and undecipherable folklore. His packed,
tumultuous canvases offer brutal renditions of hybrid beasts and
characterisations. Gögel’s subjects rise from his imagination
and are unplanned renditions; they are instinctive emanations
that rise from a combination of the artist’s unconscious and his
personal sense of history real and imagined. |
