The brainchild of Italian artist
Klarita Pandolfi,
-
'Dolore' deals with aspects of
pain and our attempts to achieve or understand happiness.
-
Sartorial Contemporary Art Gallery
is happy to present a careful selectionof
both
-
established and up and coming artists
who have provided us with some incredible manifestations,
-
exposing personal experiences and
contemplations on the subjects of pain and happiness.
-
From Mat Humphrey's incredible
suicide series
-
accompanied by Harry Pye's painting
about male pride,
-
to the exquisitely disturbing etchings
from Anj Smith,
-
the show creates a multi-dimensional
throb of human travail.
-
Klarita Pandlfi's contribution
is "Blood, Sperm and Tears"
-
a black and white photo piece concerned
with Sadomasochism
-
which proudly wears the influence
of Byzantine mosaics on it's sleeve.
-
The exhibition is not, however,
without a lighter shade.
-
The large scale paintings of recent
Chelsea graduate Marcus Cope,
-
which always feature a skillful
use of glitter, make reference to his broken heart.
-
However, the artist in describing
his work as being about the "pain of feeling pain",
-
then goes on to say "there's many
a true word spoken in jest".
-
Liz Neal's contribution to the
show is a damaged and battered painting of
someone
-
she jokingly claims not to have
thought about since she was in teenager therapy.
-
Twelve artists in total will take
the viewer on an intensely moving journey of blackness and light,
-
giving nothing less than everything.
-
In complement to the main body
of work,
-
each artist has chosen a piece
of music which they feel best represents them.
-
The music will be played at the
gallery entrance as a highly personal soundtrack
-
to this coincidence of great emotional
talents.
