Arco 2014 Madrid

I had a fleeting visit to the Arco 2014 art fair due to the fact that it took place at the same time as Artmadrid 2014 and I had to spent the majority of time there. It´s such an enormous fair that I decided I would concentrate on a theme in the work that I saw instead of trying to get everything in. So I took texture and light as subjects in the works I saw. The first intriguing piece was at the Stefan Ropke gallery which was essentially a large piece of crumbled paper but had a lovely soft tissue texture and the second piece was this portrait of a head in boxes not very original maybe but really well painted, loose and watery texture mmm.

Title - Ophelia Dimensions - ( H x W x D ) - 110 x 110 x 16 cm \ approx\ Medium – Clear resin, pigment , matches, shellac, wood. The longer I know this piece the more I read from it or see in it. Romantic notions of spitfires and John Millia's painting Ophelia were the inspiration for this sculpture. I exhibited a smaller version of this piece at a solo exhibition in Germany and had a very different response to my own interpretation. Verbally attacked by a retired German engineer asking me why I put spitfires into pieces of work when they protected the bombers that dropped their loads on civilian cities. Two wrongs don't make a right I guess, never had that PROVERB made such sense. The piece was initially one single block of clear cast resin which was completed for an art fair in Barcelona.
