We are delighted to announce Erica Eyres debut solo show at the turntable gallery, scheduled to coincide with the Heritage Open Day (14th September). This collection of work has been curated into three distinct themes, paintings of cosmetology and dermatology, emergency paintings, and recreations of portraits from vintage magazines. Each interspersed with ceramic works representing the body in various forms.
In her own words, the artist describes her work as: ‘bodies of paintings and sculptures, focusing on series’ based on types of images or objects. When beginning the body of work, I try not to dictate any narrative, but to follow my attraction to an object or image and my desire to get closer and reproduce it. Although I work from the “original”, the work evolves to become a separate entity.’
This drawing together of distinct bodies, charges the exhibition with a psychological strand which picks at various states of life and mortality. Running an erratic blade through the polarities of sex and death, intimate and confrontational, this collection provides a holistic contemplation of the human experience.
Deranged and dreamlike in equal measure, ‘No One Knows I’m Dying’ seeks to return to the liminalities of the mundane, but with a forensic eye, intent on laying bare the background noise of actuality.
