SHADOW DANCE
(Pic: Greg Bauermeister’s “Washington DC”, oil on canvas, 2008)
Solo exhibition by Greg Bauermeister at artSPACEdurban.
Shadow Dance is a solo exhibition by Greg Bauermeister due to run at artSPACEdurban.
The body of work in oil on canvas is the result of images and feelings accumulated by the artist from travels both abroad and locally. The vision expressed in these paintings is very much that of the mundane and the ordinary transformed into something mysterious and brooding. The distorted images serve to reinforce this view and the dark shadows heighten this feeling. The disconnectedness and dispiritedness of the images and people expressed in the paintings speak of the loneliness in a crowd so often felt in cities and places in our world today.
Shadow Dance runs at artSPACEdurban from March 30 to April 18.
